US-19 COMMERCIAL NEAR THE NEW RIVER GORGE BRIDGE
Among the New River Gorge region's most visible commercial locations, this 1.3-acre property on the US-19 expressway is the nearest available commercial property to the southern end of the New River Gorge Bridge, the centerpiece of America's newest national park. More than 30,000 motor vehicles pass daily, including travelers and a growing number of tourists, notably passengers in tour buses traveling the scenic parkway through the gorge. As a result of the new national park, visitor traffic has doubled in some cases. Visitor centers have reported increases of more than 60 percent in visitation over the past year. The property includes a high-profile commercial building of approximately 3,200 square feet with two successful tenant businesses and three vacation-rental apartments. It includes a graveled parking lot of more than two-thirds of an acre that can be expanded with fill. Though fewer than 400 feet from the boundary of the national park, the property lies within the corporate limits of Fayetteville, the seat of Fayette County, and the area's commercial and cultural center. Thousands of paddlers, hikers, bikers, and rock climbers frequent the town weekly. Adjoining the New River Gorge Bridge, the Canyon Rim Visitor Center is among the most visited location in the park and is a drive of fewer than five minutes from the property. About the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve The New River Gorge last year was designated part of America's newest national park, the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. The region has since undergone remarkable change. Travel has more than doubled, though the first full year of traffic is only now being assessed. Some Fayetteville businesses are reporting record gains as a result. The park and preserve include more than 72,808 acres in southern West Virginia.
