PODCAST: Preston Bryant 6.26.07

Jun 27 2007 - 9:10pm

Preston Bryant, the Secretary of Natural Resources for Virginia, joined Coy Barefoot on "Charlottesville—Right Now!" on Tuesday to discuss the future of historic Fort Monroe in Hampton (left, photo courtesy Wikipedia), which reverts to Virginia in 2011. Secretary Bryant is Chair of the Fort Monroe Authority that is charged with overseeing the clean-up of the over-500-acre site and any future development. The Authority, under Governor Kaine's direction, made news recently when it announced that the future of Fort Monroe should respect the magnificent history of the site, preserve public access, yet find a way to make it financially self-sustaining, which will likely involve a great investment by private-sector developers.
