A new roof at Bluffs Restaurant on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thanks to your gifts, the new roof at the former Bluffs Restaurant at Doughton Park is complete! The facility at milepost 241 near Sparta, N.C., is now one step closer to reopening. The concrete shingles were replaced with Enviroshake shingles, which are easier and less costly to maintain.
In the spring and summer of 2019, grants from the N.C. General Assembly and Appalachian Regional Commission will be used to repair the interior of the building and purchase new restaurant equipment.
