Here is a way to help with tourism and tax dollars in Henry County. We have I-75 which runs the full length of Henry County. There are untold numbers of people who travel the route with their RV’s every day. Many of these people would stop and spend the night or a few days visiting Henry County, but there are no RV parks along the route at this time. The county is missing a good bit of tax money in revenue from not having these sites.
With the many events that come to Henry County every year, it would give those folks who have a camper a chance to be able to stay in Henry County instead of Butts County. I remember speaking with campers who stayed at High Falls State Park and Indian Springs State Park that they were here for the Little League Baseball Tournament and had no where to camp in Henry County. The only camping area is that attached to the Atlanta Motor Speedway for those who go to the race every year.
But Henry County has the Geranium Festival in McDonough that attracts many visitors. They have the many other sites in the area that could attract campers if they had a place to stay. By far though the biggest draw would be for tired travelers who wanted to get outside of Atlanta for the night and Henry County would be a prime location for such sites. This is just an idea that might help to bring tax revenue to the county so they can do what needs to be done here for the local citizens.
