GILMER MOTEL PROPOSED - A group of Gilmer businessmen are planning on erecting
a new $2.5 motel and conference center, even though the state economic

have 60 rooms, a restaurant and other facilities. The project is based on a need
associated with the new federal prison.
ROANE PROJECTS NOT FUNDED - Two Roane County projects have been cut in the
distributing of the state's $130 million economic development fund. Proposed, the
Bogg's Field airport project and money to complete the industrial park, totaling $11
million.

foliage and stream. It is now available for $55, of which $15 goes to a wildlife
diversity fund. The plate is renewable for $45 a year.

federal funds to fight erosion, improve air quality and enhance wildlife habitat. The
U.S. Department of Agricultural grant now totals $2.9 million. Farmers can apply for
assistance.
