Rockingham County Passes Resolution of Support for SMNSA

The Rockingham County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution of support for the 90,000-acre Shenandoah Mountain National Scenic Area (SMNSA) proposal by a unanimous vote on March 10.  
Federal designation of the SMNSA would offer many benefits to Rockingham County, including permanent protection of

• high quality water resources;
• outdoor recreation opportunities;
• outstanding wildlife habitat;
• scenic beauty; and
• support for the local tourism economy.

Support from local governments is crucial to eventual introduction of federal legislation.  Rockingham County's resolution of support is an important milstone for our campaign.
​
We extend our deepest appreciation to Rockingham County for its support.
