It sounds like a good use of the property.

If we tried to preserve every site in Virginia upon which something historic occurred, we’d not be able to build anything.

I think the plan to commemorate the history of the site with a small memorial/plaque, but to put the property to a useful purpose is a good one.

Ooops! Sorry. Didn’t catch that the ,memorial would be $30M. THAT is a bad idea.

“and include a $30 million memorial” I think they plan on something more than a small memorial/plaque. And I agree we have been removing and developing cemetery property for over a hundred years. Having a public venue on the site would likely bring more attention to the history then it receives now.

and include a $30 million memorial
