A small legal victory for those who would preserve Crows Nest should be multiplied. Date published: 1/6/2006
Feather for The Nest
Tops on the agenda LEGALLY CHALLENGING the development of Stafford The strategy bore minor fruit the other day when a panel of the Virginia Supreme Court upheld a Stafford County Circuit Court ruling that limits the number of homes McLean developer K&M Properties can build on one section of the property. Several such victories--this one still could be upended by the full state Supreme Court--may cut into K&M's profit margin sufficiently, when coupled with drawn-out litigation, to persuade it to deal with those who would preserve Crow's Nest. But courtroom skirmishing alone is only half a plan. At the same time, the federal government should be plumbed for funds that would go toward safeguarding this pristine treasure of Stafford, the commonwealth, and the Mid-Atlantic region. Together with private money and funds already committed by Stafford and the state, this could entice K&M to serious negotiation and a fixed selling price. The new year should begin a redoubling of efforts to save timeless Crow's Nest.
