North Shore Road settlement brings $52 million to Swain County
In a long-sought settlement, the National Park Service will pay Swain County $52 million, approximating today's cost of a county road that was flooded in the 1940s when Fontana Lake was created. On Feb. 5, county commissioners voted 4-1 to accept the settlement, which will be paid in installments and placed into a trust fund. Under a state ruling, commissioners can only spend the interest earned on the funds, and only for projects approved by county residents.
