PATC Hike - Weverton Tower Eyesore

When:

Jun 8, 2008
1:00 PM

Details:

Washington County, Maryland, is proposing to erect a communications tower at the intersection of Keep Tryst and Sandy Hook Roads. The proposed tower would stick up 190 feet and would ruin spectacular views that now exist from Weverton Cliffs, Virginia Heights, Maryland Heights, and Harpers Ferry. The National Park Service has called the proposed tower "unsightly and unnecessary" and is proposing alternatives that will enable good emergency response communications, but also protect the natural beauty and scenic qualities of this historic area. Now is the time to let your voice be heard.
