Motorsports Park to be Built in Cumberland County

WVLT Reports that Flatrock USA confirmed its new motorsport park, previously planned to be in Oak Ridge, is planned to be built in Cumberland County instead. Rusty Bittle, a developer and founding partner of the company, thinks Cumberland County is the best location for the park. Because the piece of land is larger than the site that was first considered in Oak Ridge, the concept has expanded from a motorsports park to a larger entertainment and leisure destination. The property, a 773 acre tract right off of I-40 at the Westel exit, was owned by the Plateau Park Partnership. According to Flatrock there will be an amphitheater, winery, landmark hotel and conference center, a destination restaurant with a brewery, innovation center and museum, retail center, clubhouse with amenities, campground, adventure activities, multiple types of residential properties, farming to provide many of the needed meats and produce for on-site restaurants, helipad and an observatory on the highest point of the property. Flatrock USA will break ground this year with the motorsports park projected to be completed in phases, the first as early as next summer
