Announcements

Park Development Continues

July 1, 2026 --

The development that we had all hoped to see has not manifested itself to date. Alpha Mgmt. Partners has "leased" roughly twenty lots, with several of those lessees having multiple lots. Lake Park continues to receive interest payments on the original note, but has only received payment for the sale of two. Alpha Mgmt. is still committed to providing affordable housing options including self-sustaining/off-the-grid homes, entertainment venues, walking trails, onsite indoor/outdoor yoga classes, and graded roads with proper drainage ditches.

All inquiries should be directed to Rance Cagle, Managing Partner of Alpha Mgmt. Partners, LLC, at 865-924-8320.

July 2, 2026 --

We have received information regarding the grant for water lines to be installed in Lake Park. The funds were exhausted prior to reaching us. Therefore, there are presently no funds with which the South Cumberland Utility District (recently merged into Cumberland Plateau Water Authority) can progress with the project.

This news came as a shock to all persons involved, and undoubtedly any future property sales will feel the impact of needing wells dug. This procrss is expensive and risky as it's a gamble if you drill and find no water or it's contaminated with naturally occurring elements. We are currently in the process of researching other grants which could be utilized.
