Steps are moving forward for construction of a new resort at Raven Rock.
The Mountain Eagle reports the EKY Heritage Foundation has started looking for an architecture and engineering firm to design what they describe as a lodge-style convention center with five miles of soft-surface hiking and biking trails.
The design/build would also have to include an access road and infrastructure for the facility.
Money for the project is from a $6.2 million federal Abandoned Mine Lands Economic Revitalization grant.
