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 exploration of funding sources from federal, state, and private sectors to support the development of these facilities. It mandates the Economic Development Authority to submit a report within 12 months detailing their findings, recommendations, and a strategic plan for development, including potential funding opportunities and projected economic benefits. The resolution aims to foster local business growth, create jobs, and improve infrastructure, ultimately benefiting the community and enhancing the region's economic stability.
