A long-term $31 million plan is in place to upgrade Jackson's Mill State 4-H Conference Center. The improvements will take place over several years, using a combination of private and public funds. The project is expected to be completed by 2007.

The first phase includes the construction of 50 rooms of primary lodging and a restaurant. The current Jackson Lodge will be expanded from 23 to 50 rooms, in addition to dorm improvements and a new multi-purpose building and 3000 seat auditorium.

The new WV State Fire Academy will also be constructed on the property.
