The fight continues over 14,500 acres eligible for historic designation at Brandy Station in Culpeper eCounty, sparking political debate on rthe homefront and at both capitols. t When Lee Sammis, a California •developer, purchased 5,000 acres at ■Brandy Station near the airport and •industrial park for further development, preservationists organized *a fight against the “taking” of the rgite of Battle of Brandy Station.
Although Sammis’ six-millionsquare-foot industrial project was approved by the Board of Supervisors last year, the Brandy Station Foundation, a preservationist group, fought to have the land, and 9,000 acres more, designated on the national historic register.
Some of the 14,500 acres are in Fauquier County. The Town of Remington comes very close to being included and a large area near Kelly's Ford is listed.
According to Sue Hansohn, cofounder of the Citizens for Land Rights, the maneuver represents an abuse of the federal government’s Preservation Act because the Brandy Station Foundation is using it to limit development, not preserve an historic site.
