Please describe the proposed route of the New River Parkway. Little if any mention of this project has been mentioned in hysterical( oh-excuse me!) I mean historical Lewisburg. Such a project would be dead on arrival in Greenbrier County thanks to the strong arm influence of the Greenbrier Hotel (CSX)!

It has been proposed to come off I-64 Sandstone exit, follow existing st. rt. 26 to Hinton on the west side (Raleigh County). It was all originally intended to "lie gently on the land and the landowners"----meaning leaving us alone....till the strong arm of the federal government got involved---aka, the NPS, US Fish and Wildlife, etc.of which resulted in a Memoradumn of Understanding (that violates due process, and I must add was proven..one of the 'hold-ups stopping this land grab attempt) that these federal agencies had to have the lands of us landowners that have been here for 200 years, in order to "protect" it against "potential" development! This attempt is nothing but an attempt to own all the land from Hinton to Fayette Station! Remember what happened to the once town of Thurmond, WV??? Yeah, the NPS owns it! As they will with Hinton if they get their way.
