RAPPAHANNOCK SUPERVISORS and county officials have noticed it, and commented1 on it. So have Fauquier Supervisors, and their county officials. Metropolitan area developers are definitely getting more active in this area.
The reason is not hard to find — aside from the obvious attractions Rappahannock and Fauquier hold as places in which people want to build homes and live. The main reason the developers (who often could care less about the “home” and “human” aspects of their construction activities) are suddenly interested in us is because Fairfax and other “close-in” counties are increasingly not interested in development.
Fairfax has gotten particularly tough on the developers and their grandiose schemes to turn a fast buck. Lately, Prince William and Loudoun counties have begun to follow suit — “follow suit” is a phrase used advisedly, since this is what the developers do when county governments don’t hop to their tune. Loudoun has been especially demanding, as their now famous lawsuit against the giant Levitt corporation attests, and Fauquier is following closely behind.
