BTW, I remember the NIMBY/Disney war back in the 90's... Faugquier County has acquired another referemnce as F'U" County! All the land barons help the image. (for reference, see hwy 17 from I-66 to Clarke Co. Line)

Ah....but you are misinformed...the Disney fiasco happened in Haymarket, VA in Prince William County, VA, not Fauquier. Now that area is getting pretty packed with McMansions and all the stuff that comes with large subdivisions. Of course, the county pays for all sewer and road improvements. And I know the Rte 17 corridor well, I travel up it every single school day.

Btw, while the Disney situation was being fought tooth and nail, someone else slipped in under the radar and built the Nissan Center which is a major musical amphitheatre seating thousands which backs up traffic for miles and miles all summer long. Yep, built that bad boy on a 2 lane road about 10 years ago and it STILL is on a 2 lane road. It's a right mess. At least Disney was going to put in road improvements!
