## Description

The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking expressions of interest in developing the historic Big Spring Lodge, guest cabins and other associated structures within Ozark National Scenic Riverways (Riverways). The site is in the Lower Current River District of the Riverways less than 5 miles from downtown Van Buren, Missouri, at the end of State Route 103. While these buildings were historically used as overnight accommodations and food service, the NPS seeks concepts and ideas for adaptive reuse of the buildings.

The NPS particularly believes that a lodging operation, conference center, special event space, retail operations and food and beverage operations, may be appropriate.
