The Mill Mountain Conservancy
(MMC) is a group of Roanoke citizens who have come together to
voice concern over the proposed commercial development in Mill
Mountain Park and to challenge the premise that Mill Mountain
Park, in its present form, is a failed city asset or wasted real
estate. Its mission finds strength and comfort from the Fishburn
family's statement last Spring in its letter to City Council:
NO DEVELOPMENT ON THE MOUNTAIN - NOW AND FOREVER.
This
site savemillmountain.com, is sponsored by MMC to keep
all concerned citizens informed of upcoming meetings and on-going
discussions regarding Valley Forward's request to place an upscale
restaurant and deli shop on Mill Mountain and to provide a place
for citizens to share their own memories, thoughts or concerns
relating to Mill Mountain Park.
This site is NOT a place to belittle or insult Valley Forward's
membership or question their desire to improve Roanoke. It is
meant only to challenge their belief that development in our
signature park is the path to a greater Roanoke.
