the “working landscape,” as Wyatt put it.
The partnership also works with Main Street programs to increase the visibility of towns.
The region’s communities help define the partnership, she said.
“We are them,” Wyatt said of the non-membership group, which collects no fees from participants. “This is completely voluntary. We don’t lobby anybody” to join.
The communities determine “what they’d like this region to be in 30 years, 50 years,” she said.
The partnership charges no membership fee. Funded through contributions, its annual budget totals about $700,000.
The partnership has been well received, Wyatt said.
Even so, it had no plans to „ expand its region. “If you try to be all things to all people, you’re no good to anyone,” she said.
Wyatt addressed the Times editorial board in the FauquierTimes Democrat office at 40 Culpeper St., Warrenton. The newspaper group also includes the Loudoun Times-Mirror, Gainesville Times, Clark Times-Courier, Rappahannock News and Culpeper Times.
