We, the undersigned, support our local government’s efforts to beautify Washington, Virginia’s town center. While objections to the project have been raised based largely on incorrect procedure, we believe the town council has the best interest of its citizens in mind on this issue and the completed project will benefit the entire community. We therefore urge the council to:
· Reaffirm its actions on the Town Square Beautification Project
· Correct procedural errors (to the extent practical)
· Avoid legal entanglement designed to intimidate the council into inaction and empty our town’s savings account to pay unnecessary legal fees.

The current momentum confirms that the community expects the town council to move forward with the beautification project. I have requested a formal meeting with the town manager to present these signatures and demand a definitive timeline for the next phase.

We recently moved to Washington Virginia and eagerly support the effort to beautify the town. Even though, honestly, we have been taken aback by some of the pettiness and spitefullness in this community, we are here to stay and invest in this wonderful town. We hope that the actions of few to not tarnish the image of this beautiful place. When we were looking for a home we stayed at the Foster Harris a few times, and we thank Diane and John for their efforts.
I wholeheartedly agree with this petition and the desire to not squander precious resources on a legal proceeding which will not beautify anything. I believe the uproar over this matter is remarkably overblown and disproportionate to the asserted infraction.
I fully support our local governments efforts to beautify the town square in our county seat, Washington, VA
Jeff and I love this town, and support this plan. How could beautifying a town ever be viewed as a bad idea?
Having been residents in Washington, VA for 7 years we recently moved to Flint Hill but applaud the beautification project and strongly support the proposed petition.

I strongly support keeping our extraordinary town beautiful! My husband and I have owned an old home (circa 1885) in town for 15+ years, and though it requires constant upkeep and beautification, our love for this Town, its people, and the natural beauty of Rappahannock have made it all worthwhile. Let’s do the same for this sanctuary in the mountains of Virginia! We must preserve that which is valuable, and can do so by keeping our town and its historic structures from slipping into further disrepair.
