from Northern Virginia and national land speculators, if we truly wish to remain a “Scenic County”, let’s not wait around hats-in-hand for government to act. Let’s just do it, all by ourselves.

“We have a very good foundation to build on,” Chris Bird said. “At the moment we are in good control of our destiny ... it would be nice to continue for the good of those who live here.”
