Over a year ago, through the courtesy of the RLEP, there was an open meeting in the courthouse in Washington, well publicized in advance, held for the specific purpose of discussing our plans.

Frankly, I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that there would be more people around just before Christmas, including students home for vacation. We certainly hope for a good turnout As I have often said, we need the support of the citizens of Rappahannock County for our project ter have any reasonable chance of success.
