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.
