untouched He said only a trickle of tourists passing through this isolated Cumberland Plateau area have been stopping because there have been no facilities and no entertainment The new park he said

in the arm" to the area's economy particularly Bledsoe and Van Buren counties in which the park is situated But he said a secondary impact is expected in such surrounding counties as Cumberland Grundy
