VERONA — Augusta County zoning officials Thursday backed a special-use permit for a Motocross track and sports park development in Greenville.

GREENVILLE — Motocross track and sports park developer Terry Argenbright envisions a facility that would do more than host weekend motocross and bicycle racing events.

Augusta County officials took up a developer’s offer Saturday morning to listen to a motocross demonstration at the site of a proposed sports park off U.S. 11 in Greenville.

Developer Terry Argenbright will conduct a sound test this morning for his potential motocross track and sports park facility off U.S. 11 in Greenville.

The refrains from people who live near the site of a proposed motocross track and sports park are familiar: They say the plan would provide a recreational boost for young people, but wonder about both the location and noise it would generate.

A Fishersville man’s proposal for a motocross track and sports park has resurfaced near Greenville’s Pilot Truck Stop nine months after Augusta Expoland vetoed the project.
