The work session is an
opportunity for members of the Journey Through Hallowed
Ground Partnership to brief the Board of Supervisors on the
recent establishment of the Journey Through Hallowed Ground
area as a National Heritage Area, and a Resolution regarding
the proposed designation of Route 15, Route 15/29 from its
nexus in Prince William County, Route 15 through Warrenton,
and Route 15/29 south of Warrenton, through Routes 20/231/22
as an “All American Road.”
All of Fauquier County is
contained within the Journey Through Hallowed Ground
National Heritage Area. In January, 2005 the Fauquier
County Board of Supervisors passed a Resolution supporting
Route 15 as a State Scenic Route. Being designated an All
American Road will qualify the corridor for National Scenic
Byway funding for preservation, conservation,
interpretation, and heritage tourism, and will likely
enhance the corridor’s ability to obtain Transportation
Enhancement funds to improve the scenic quality of the
roadway.
