A second Roads Coalition group was established through the efforts of Mark Malik, Dick McNear and Brenda VanNess. This Gid Brown Hollow group met with Doug Bywaters of VDOT to discuss their road improvement priority, the planting of 100 trees.

Rappahannock residents wishing to voice their road concerns are encouraged to establish a Coalition group by contacting Donna Lapre at 547-3972 or by email to skenny@summit.net.
