Rusty Bittle, developer and founding partner of Flatrock USA, was featured speaker at the Cumberland County Commission work session last night to update the Commission on the upcoming development in the Westel community called Flat Rock.  Flat Rock is a sprawling entertainment and leisure destination featuring a motorsports park designed by world-renowned Tilke Engineers & Architects. The 773-acre tract is located off of I-40 at the Westel exit that Flat Rock purchased from the Plateau Park Partnership. The project includes a six-mile paved road-racing track – hotel, restaurants, clubhouses, cabins, winery and more. The property has sat dormant for years after Roane, Morgan and Cumberland counties entered into a partnership to purchase and market the site for development. Bittle said the Flatrock project is set to break ground in January of 2022 with the track and some amenities to be completed in the next two years.  Bittle said the entire development should be finished in five years.
