The Issue

Our family, like many others in Powhatan, Virginia, cherishes the time we can spend together outdoors, enjoying the exhilaration and camaraderie of riding offroad vehicles. However, as more land becomes developed and access to trails becomes limited, finding a safe and enjoyable place to ride has become increasingly challenging. With personal land, time, and financial limitations, we would love nothing more than a local place where families like ours can bond over our shared passion. Throttle Therapy has proposed the development of an offroad tracks and trails park on a sprawling 711-acre site in Powhatan. This location, being remote, minimizes any impact on the surrounding community, with only a few homes located within a half-mile radius. The need for such a park is undeniable; it will not only provide a recreational outlet for families and outdoor enthusiasts but also could potentially boost local businesses through increased visitation and community engagement. Moreover, the proposed park promises to promote safe, controlled, and environmentally responsible offroad riding. In areas where similar parks have been established, there has been a notable decrease in illegal and unsafe riding activities, creating safer environments for both riders and non-riders alike. It's crucial to consider the economic, environmental, and social benefits this project can bring to Powhatan. Supporting this initiative will not only preserve the outdoor lifestyle cherished by many in our community but will also foster a new venue for celebration and togetherness among families. I urge the residents of Powhatan and the local authorities to support Throttle Therapy's proposal. By signing this petition, you'll be advocating for a family-friendly environment, increased recreational opportunities, and the preservation of our local outdoor traditions. Let's come together to make this offroad park a reality for our community. Please add your signature to support this cause today!
