In Pickens County, South Carolina, the county’s planning commission denied a proposed recreational vehicle (RV) park on Mile Creek Road within the Six Mile community, according to a WYFF News 4 report.
Pickens County showcases the Blue Ridge Mountains and Appalachian heritage for adventurers and nature enthusiasts, including hiking trails, walking, and stunning views of nature.
The decision came after a deliberation, culminating in a 3-2 vote against Michele Trubey’s plan to establish the park. Residents raised concerns about the viability of the proposed RV park.
In defense of her project, Trubey addressed the commission, asserting her thoughtful approach to the development.
“I’m not haphazardly, carelessly, or thoughtlessly going about this. A great deal of thought has been put into what I might use this land for, so it does benefit the community at large. I also need work and need to prosper myself,” Trubey said, as quoted in the WYFF News 4 report.
The proposal outlined the development of facilities to accommodate up to 25 RVs, complete with essential services such as septic systems, electricity, and running water.
“I feel like if they did this RV park, they would do their very best to make sure that this didn’t impact any individual that’s living around that area,” Resident Cathy Parish said.
