Judging from offers of support made during the public comments portion of the meeting, the County may not have to use taxpayer monies for an historic inventory. Many spoke of the benefits to the County of such an effort, and Bob Dennis, President of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA), noted that an anonymous donor had contributed $10,000, and may contribute an additional $5,000, to the RCCA to be used for the survey. Mr. Dennis said that his organization would soon present a check to the County for $10,000.

Marilyn Hawkins, representing the Rappahannock Historical Society, said that the Society’s board unanimously supports an historic survey, and offered in-kind contributions such as office space and staff assistance to researchers.

Others expressing support for the survey included Steve Miller on behalf of the Amissville Area Community Association, Jim Gannon on behalf of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Franklin Warner, Jeff Light on behalf of the Lion’s Club, Buck Payne in behalf of the Sperryville Gateway Committee, Barbara Sherwood on behalf of PEC, and Rick Kohler.
