ht-rich opportunities tor local residents who don’t live on a pension (or a trust fund) and who want to have a job close to home and family. Without these entrepreneurs you’ll be awfully hard-pressed to find funding for a lot of services you probably take for granted; I won’t bore you with an exhaustive list, but if you value it, there's a good chance businesses in Rappahannock help pay for it!
Does Rappahannock really want each of its residents to choose between being born rich or commuting 80 miles? Is Rappahannock really ready for what this kind of arrangement forebodes for our local institutions and sense of community?
Entrepreneurs like David Cole are hard to come by: entrepreneurs who are involved in exactly the enterprises our county purports to value—agriculture and what could broadly be termed ecotourism. If David Cole leaves Rappahannock, you have to be the ultimate optimist to believe there’s another Mr. Cole waiting in the wings.
