Greetings, Friends of RLEP!
What is most critical to Rappahannock County today? I say it is our zoning. We have kept development at bay and protected farms, wildlife, starry nights, natural resources, and our rural character. But the times are upon us, my friends. You might say they are at the gates.
RLEP formed a Zoning Committee last year, retaining the expertise of the Richmond law firm Whiteford, Taylor & Preston LLP as counsel.
We are committed to preserving and strengthening Rappahannock’s zoning, yet it takes a village…and in this case, a county to defend the place we love and appreciate.
Help us keep Rappahannock different. To do so will take resources. RLEP has dedicated in-house talent and drive, but excellent, expert outside counsel is expensive, critical, AND we need YOU to JOIN US.
Be part of the defense or be prepared to lose the Rappahannock we love and appreciate.
All the best,
Thank you for your ongoing support! Please remember RLEP in your annual giving — and consider volunteering to help grow our programs.
YOU can help conserve the nature of Rappahannock!
All the best,
-Rick Kohler
RLEP President
