VMI Board Urged To Pause Plan For Houses

Feb. 10, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: You have already received a number of letters from local residents concerned about VMI’s plan to raze two beautiful, historic homes at the entrance to the Post. For generations, these stately houses have served as an introduction to the traditions and character of the Virginia Military Institute. In losing them, we would also lose a large part of what makes VMI special among our public universities In their place, a bulky, awkwardly designed event center will form the first impression of the historic post.
