Many of them do not have the disposable income to support these ideas. As you reach farther south the income levels rise but so does the travel time which will again restrict the number of people willing and able to travel that far.
The area needs a 12 month solution in order to generate the income necessary to support the investment required for a substantial change.

That's the million dollar question....The Solution with the game plan. I'm sorry I don't have it. That is responsibility of the state officials, imo. It won't be an over night repair. The first attraction will need to be built, draw some interest and drive the second attraction and so on and so on. I think the Fun Spot , the zip line place (can't remember the name, monkey something?) ect...are solid starts . The next improvement can't be 5-6 years from now, they need to keep upgrading and get people talking.
