agriculture in Fauquier County.
Mrs. Malta wasn’t interested. Warren Countians need it to get to jobs, she said (why was industry situated in Warren if not to create jobs that wouldn’t have to be commuted to?) The highway is needed to carry second-home developers past Warren, she added (so much for the neighbors on the other side, too.) And she dismissed any further conversation about the subject.
No wonder the developers and speculators can keep pecking away, chipping away a farm in Fauquier, a mountainside in Warren, a creek bottom in Page, a pasture in Frederick. With the people on “the other side” so confused and at odds about such basic questions as unnecessary superhighways to nowhere, the developers can’t lose. □
