The resolution requests the West Virginia Economic Development Authority to evaluate land around Tygart Lake in Taylor County for the potential development of public entertainment, amusement, and tourism facilities. Tygart Lake is recognized as an underutilized natural resource with significant potential to enhance tourism and economic growth in the region, given its strategic location near major highways and proximity to urban centers and educational institutions. The resolution emphasizes the importance of tourism and recreation as key economic drivers for Taylor County and envisions the area becoming a major tourism hub, akin to successful destinations like Reno and Atlantic City.

Additionally, the resolution calls for the Economic Development Authority to explore various funding sources, including federal, state, and private investments, to support the planning and construction of these facilities. A comprehensive master plan is proposed to ensure the successful establishment of world-class attractions, which would not only generate revenue and create jobs but also provide lasting benefits to the community through improved infrastructure. The Authority is tasked with submitting a report to the Legislature within 12 months, detailing its findings, recommendations, and projected economic benefits of the proposed developments.
