Update-Accokeek Furnace Boardwalk and Cannon Ridge Park
Thank you to everyone that has signed the petition!
Progress is being made towards Cannon Ridge being designated as a Park in the Stafford Comprehensive Plan. Once it's designated as a future Park it will be eligible for State and Federal Grants.
On September 3rd at 3:00 pm, I'm on the agenda for a presentation to the Stafford Historical Commission.
On September 20th at 7:00 pm the Parks and Recreation Commission will have on the agenda a resolution supporting a Park designation for Cannon Ridge.
These meetings are open to the public.
I need your help to make our voices Loud and Clear!
A Parks survey is being done to get feedback on future Park improvements to be included in the Comprehensive Plan. As of now No new Parks are proposed.
We can change that. The Parks survey is simple and easy. Please click the link below to support two new parks.
1. Historic Events Park at Cannon Ridge
2. Accokeek Furnace Boardwalk.
Question #15 asked for Park ideas. The picture is a suggestion sample of question #15
Question #15 A
1. A Historic Events Park, Fairgrounds and the Waterfall Trail at the closed Cannon Ridge Golf Course.
2. Accokeek Furnace Boardwalk and Trail.
Question 15 B.
The Accokeek Furnace Boardwalk and Trail would go from the Mine Road Extension to the Accokeek Furnace and Mill Site behind Colonial Forge HS.
