The Virginia Department of Energy last week presented a $300,000 grant to Breaks Interstate Park for construction of a new swimming pool. The funding comes from the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization program. The new pool is expected to increase park visits, add nearly $100,000 in annual revenue and create five to seven seasonal jobs. PROVIDED BY VIRGINIA ENERGY
