Reading these stories is heartbreaking! As a resident of Warrenton we as a town could do so much better. This nonsense fight about establishing hero’s bridge is crazy. These veterans need the help! Putting them in a community instead of the middle of no where just makes a ton of sense. Warrenton and fauquier needs to move on from the NIMBYism that is from the elitist in the northern part of the county and come together to make housing available. Simple attainable housing will go suck a long way for so many of our residents that are already here!! It’s not bringing in new residents, just helping those who are here. This county and Warrenton can do so much better
