In a wide-ranging interview with the editors of Times Community Newspapers on May 9, Christopher G. Miller, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council discussed the areas where the mission of his organization has changed — and where it hasn’t.
“What often gets lost when thinking about.PEC’s position on the issues is that we have a very broad mission,” Miller explained.
Established in Fauquier in 1972, the PEC’s original goals were “to preserve the natural character and visual order of the countryside, towns and villages of the Piedmont ... At the same time, seeking to provide for orderly economic progress sensitive to conservation of land, water, air and other natural resources.”
Miller handed out copies of the PEC’s 1995-96 Annual Report, which named nearly 50 directors from the nine counties in the Virginia Piedmont. It also listed PEC’s assets at $815,850, of which only $28,540 was cash; liabilities were listed at $41,532, including a $5,000 “loan from director.”
