Need for 230 new rooms identified in the Alleghany Highlands region

More rooms and better rooms needed

A new study prepared by VT KnowledgeWorks for the economic development support organizations in the Alleghany Highlands found that the Alleghany Highlands region’s activities could support over 400 hotel and B&B rooms. Further there are no accommodations along the 50+ mile stretch of Interstate 64 in the Alleghany Highlands region other than in the Covington – Clifton Forge area.

Visitors agree with findings

After an assessment of five lodging accommodations market segments the study has identified a need for additional 230 rooms at the ABOVE AVERAGE or better quality standard. Visitor comments support the conclusion.
