Their slogan is "everybody is welcome and nobody sits the bench," but the owner of a proposed extreme sports park in Greenville is not being welcomed by all Augusta County neighbors.

On Friday night, Terry Argenbright held a public information meeting for residents in the area regarding the park.

The park would be located on 44 acres on the eastern side of Interstate 81.

Argenbright envisions a facility that provides recreational activities for children including motocross and BMX bike tracks. However, county residents have voiced noise concerns about the park.

Argenbright had one sound test at the site and says it proves levels reach no more than the normal speaking level of 64 decibels. Still, residents close to the Greenville site disagree.

Richard Faulds lives a mile and half east of the proposed site. He says he would like to support the positive project, but has concerns about the noise.

"I live in Greenville because its a quiet, beautiful place," says Faulds. "The sound test was loud. The motorcross events are scheduled for weekends. That's exactly when I'm going to be outside."

After the meeting, Argenbright says the overall community support in Greenville has been overwhelming.

The next step in the process will involve the Virginia Department of Transportation working with a nearby Pilot truck stop on traffic flow.

Argenbright says, after that, he will submit the plan to the board of zoning and appeals for approval.

Argenbright's fight to build the extreme sports park goes back a couple of years.

In December 2007, the Augusta Zoning Appeals Board required a sound test at the proposed Expoland site.

In May 2008, after strong opposition from neighbors, Expoland announced it would not approve the park on its land, which sparked threats of a lawsuit from the developer.

In March, Argenbright and the County Zoning Appeals Board did a sound test at the proposed Greenville location.
