Moreover, the choice of site for the project is puzzling. It is miles away from the nearest clinic, grocery or pharmacy.
People living in the area pay extra for home insurance because no fire stations are in the vicinity.
There is no similar density of development anywhere in this rural area. All of that brings to mind another disturbing aspect of the Botha Village project. It is to be located adjacent to the Rappahannock River, atop a fractured composite substrate. The original environmental assessment advised against developing the site at all because tests indicated it did not percolate. Effects of such a system on neighboring private wells and on the watershed are unknown.
