Mehr Piedmont Crossroads: The Path to Preservation

The Virginia Piedmont Heritage Area Association (VPHA) is pleased to announce a new podcast titled “Piedmont Crossroads, The Path to Preservation” covering preservation issues and historic resources in our state-designated Heritage Area that deserve a deeper look. Commentators will address these issues one at a time, and will engage local experts to help the public understand the history and importance of each topic. Each podcast episode will examine a historic resource that is threatened or may need more attention from the public. They will also address successful preservation efforts that have a positive story to tell. Some issues have been covered at length in the media while others may be little known by the public. Listeners will learn fascinating history, and often about the encroachment of modern development, and the conflicts that result. Discussions will also cover steps being taken to protect these important historic resources and how the public can help support their preservation.

Episode A Shocking Development for Western Loudoun Cover

A Shocking Development for Western Loudoun

A sudden, unexpected announcement in December that a new, high voltage transmission line was about to be strung across Western Loudoun County sent residents of the region spinning. If approved by the state, the lines would end forever protected rural areas of the county, damage heritage sites and parks, destroy tourism, and run out of town commercial farms, wineries and breweries. Opposition forces immediately formed, and forces normally at odds began joined together to fight the battle for Western Loudoun. Meanwhile, the story drew in intensity as layers of government jumped into the approval process, leaving residents, community leaders, and business owners baffled as to “who is in charge.” In a podcast by the Virginia Piedmont Heritage Area Association, this confusing, complex and ever-changing story of how the nation’s mammoth need for electricity moved to darken one of the last, great historic green areas of the Eastern U.S. Listen on your favorite podcast app to hear how this existential war is being waged and why you should care.

Episode Conservation Easements Cover

Conservation Easements

The importance of conservation easements to the preservation of the Virginia Piedmont Heritage Area cannot be overstated. Without them, our green space, historic sites, and unrivaled vistas would be overrun and boxed in by suburban development. The fifth episode of Piedmont Crossroads – The Path to Preservation tells us why the area is worth saving, the significance of the easement solution, and how to go about getting one. It also shows the benefit to the easement holder. This episode of Piedmont Crossroads is somewhat different from other podcasts in in our series because it was primarily recorded at a live event in March 2023. The intimacy of the live event is enhanced by a recorded Q and A with Ashton Cole, Executive Director of the Land Trust of Virginia. So, if you are interested in learning all about easements – what they are, how the work and what good they do – sit back and listen to Episode 5.

Episode Data Centers Cover

Data Centers

Data Centers are everywhere in Northern Virginia and more are coming. In 2018, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a data center complex directly on Goose Creek, a state designated scenic river, despite enormous opposition from preservations, environmentalists and voters. In December of 2022, the Prince William Supervisors abruptly eliminated their “Rural Crescent”, a sacred protected space they established in 1998 as a permanent Urban Growth Boundary. The reason? To allow a 2,100 acre Data Center Complex next to the Manassas National Battlefield Park. And last week, the Warrenton Town Council voted to allow a data center in their historic town despite a year of well-organized, loud and overwhelming opposition from local citizens and preservation organizations. Why is this happening? Why are our representatives approving these colossal industrial structures all across our treasured landscape? Why can’t they be stopped by protests and resistance? What is the scale of money involved? The answers to these questions - and some solutions - are available in Episode 4 of Piedmont Crossroads - The Path to Preservation presented by the Virginia Piedmont Heritage Area Association. This release of the podcast address the environmental, financial, political and historical issues surrounding the data center crisis in the Northern Virginia Heritage. On the VPHA website, you also will find long versions of the original interviews with participants and drone footage of the Warrenton center site. An earlier version of this podcast was released prior to the vote by the Warrenton Town Council permitting a Data Center in that town’s gateway. This version is updated and expanded.
