“The City of Hinton is excited to announce the future development of Hinton Landing and Batteau Beach as part of a long-term community development plan. We wish to thank the West Virginia Dept of Highways and West Virginia American Water Company for their cooperation in the transfer of property to the City for this project.
This strategic location has tremendous value as a river access point. It will contain a public beach, green space, picnic shelters, public bathroom, playground, boat launch, parking and have the space to potentially host events.
The hope is that our residents will use the area for recreation and water access and that it becomes a centerpiece of our efforts to encourage more river usage throughout the county.
The plans are a culmination of a two-year collaboration with the WVU School of engineering and local stakeholders to determine the best use for the sight. The project is expected to take 9-13 months to complete. A final draft of plans will be made available to the public in the next 60-90 days while site preparation has already begun. We are sorry for the inconvenience during the construction phase and hope that the community will be understanding during this time.
We believe this project is a great benefit to our community and that it will be something that is utilized and appreciated by local residents and visitors alike. “ Mayor Jack Scott.
