survey

• Help develop the county’s vision

• Help develop the proposal

• Help support the contractor who is hired to complete the survey

• Help keep the county informed of the process.

3. The Board of Supervisors (BOS) approves the process and stays informed of its progress.

4. The money is raised by contributions. $20,000 is seen as the threshold amount to get the survey completed. However, raising more than that would result in a more indepth and detailed survey, the scope of which can be determined by future discussions.

5. Normally this money would be matched by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, which would then handle the hiring process of a state-approved historic resources surveyor. However, this year the ad hoc citizens’ group learned that no more money is available, so the County Administrator, John McCarthy, will be contracting with the consultant. A leading candidate is Maral S. Kalbian, who has completed a similar survey for Frederick County and is at work on one for Fauquier County.

The contractor would have up to twelve months to complete the work. So far, the following requirements for the survey have been proposed:

1. The identification of properties deemed to be high potential candidates for the Virginia / National Landmark Register (so far there are six county properties listed).

2. The identification of districts deemed to be high potential candidates for the Virginia / National Landmark Register (so far Washington and Sperryville are listed).

3. The creation of maps showing all properties over fifty years old.
