‘A Sensible Compromise’ For Lake Merriweather

‘A Sensible Compromise’ For Lake Merriweather

Oct. 23, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: The Maury River flows entirely in Rockbridge County. It is a source of recreation, tourism and the source of drinking water for the city of Lexington. Part of the Maury is already a designated “Scenic River of Virginia.” To say the least, this river is of important ecological and economic importance to the county. Above the beloved Goshen pass is a large dam (1,300 feet x 43 feet tall) encompassing a lake (when full) of almost 400 acres and with a drainage area of 85 square miles. 10/25/2023 12:00 AM

It was a cold and windy day for Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church’s annual fall festival this past Saturday. The Brunswick stew sold out early, but there was plenty of apple butter on hand.
