Comment: Thanks Mr. Ecker for the resolution but it failed as usually by the Gang of 4, they always look at their leader before they vote! This blog believes that the supervisor on the Regional Industrial Facilities Authority should not be able to vote on the resolution! The land belongs to the taxpayers and we do not want uranium mining or milling anywhere in our county and we do not want our tax money going toward uranium mining milling! Ban uranium mining and milling now!

I tried to have a resolution to protect the Berry Hill Mega Park from uranium mining and milling should the state of Virginia allow it.
We as taxpayers will be investing well over $200 million dollars in this project.
I felt that we need to let potential business investors know that their investment would be protected and not for naught.
We need to let Pittsylvania County citizens know that Berry Hill Mega Park will not be a site for milling of uranium ore or mining of uranium on this land owned by Pittsylvania County and City of Danville.
Some members of this Board of Supervisors have again failed to insure that taxpayer’s dollars would be protected in this Mega Park.
By failing to take any action said to the people of Pittsylvania County that the potential exist that this site could be a site for milling of uranium ore should the moratorium on uranium mining be lifted in the State of Virginia.
One member of the Board of Supervisors was quoted as saying that this was a Regional Industrial Facilities Authority matter because they owned the land.
Guess what the citizens of Pittsylvania County and Danville city are the owners of this land because they are the ones who are paying the bill for this Mega Park.
The four members of Board decided to table this so no action would be taken, they want it to die and fade into the sunset. This subject will not go away unless the moratorium is not lifted forever in the State of Virginia.
