The
primary objective of the South Sulphur Regional
Development Association is to bring visitors
to Northeast Texas and enhance the economic activity
of the region through tourism. The Association
is a Texas non-profit and a 501(c)3 under IRS
regulations.
The
primary emphasis is developed around
an educational and cultural venue,
the Cooper Lake Center; being built
on 122 acres at Cooper Lake. The project
is in cooperation with the Corps of Engineers
and Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department and the location is sub-leased.
The site will be the home of a 1,500 seat
amphitheater, an education center, a restored
log house from the mid-1800s, a farm depicting
mid-1800
and early 1900 agriculture methods and
buildings and a native American village.
The remainder of the Center property will
be dedicated to native flowers and shrubs
and demonstration plantings including one
or more nature trails. The common thread
running throughout the project is NATURE.
