Tennessee State Parks and elected officials broke ground Tuesday for the new Fall Creek Falls inn, restaurant and conference center. The venture, which is part of a $200 million investment in state parks made by Gov. Bill Haslam and the Tennessee General Assembly, is forecast to generate $278,000 annually in sales and occupancy taxes. The construction of the new facility is expected to bring in over 100 new jobs along with an estimated $14.7 million in taxable spending to the area. Construction is projected to be completed sometime in 2021.
