The Army leaves this national historic landmark land in September 2011. Virginia then becomes the land's steward for the nation -- and for the world.
Old Point Comfort's strategically Gibraltar-like national historic landmark land looks across the lower Chesapeake Bay, over Hampton Roads harbor, deep into four centuries of America's past, and -- if America makes the best of post-Army Fort Monroe -- far into the coming centuries.
For after the Army leaves, we advocate a self-sustaining, revenue-generating, innovatively structured Grand Public Place. We believe that this Grand Public Place must have as its foundation a substantial unit of the national park system -- not only for the community's financial enrichment, but for everybody's historical, recreational and environmental enrichment.
Please see our April and May 2011 updates concerning encouraging progress toward this goal.
