SUMMARY:Special Announcement on Wilderness Battlefield
DESCRIPTION:In April 2023\, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved an application to rezone more than 2\,600 acres of fields and forest across from Wilderness Battlefield for the proposed “Wilderness Crossing” development. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis massive\, industrial development poses a dire threat to the historic\, natural and cultural resources of the surrounding area\, including the nationally significant Wilderness and Chancellorsville battlefields\, additional lands that are part of a Congressionally designated battlefield study area\, and the entire Route 3 corridor\, the historic trade route from the Port of Fredericksburg to Culpeper and other parts of Virginia. \n\n\n\nIn the face of this looming\, incongruous development\, on Wednesday\, May 1\, PEC and other members of the Wilderness Battlefield Coalition will join the National Trust for Historic Preservation for a special announcement about efforts to raise awareness about threats facing Wilderness Battlefield. \n\n\n\nThis event is open to the public\, is free\, and will be held rain or shine. On May 1\, follow the signs for parking. If you can join us\, please email me at dmccown@pecva.org. An RSVP isn’t required but it is helpful to know how many people to expect. Wilderness Run Vineyards opens to the public at 11 a.m.

SUMMARY:Navigating Organizational Funding for Home Energy Upgrade Programs in Justice 40 Communities
DESCRIPTION:The federal government is releasing historic amounts of funding to advance home energy upgrades in the United States right now\, with many specifically dedicated to delivering energy savings\, comfort\, and health benefits to Justice 40 communities.
