The Civil War Preservation Trust (www.cpmv.org) was established in 2008 as a direct result of Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI) expressed interested in desecrating the land the Civil War Soldiers fought on during the Battle of South Mountain. DTI now owns Fox's Tavern and the surrounding 135 acres. In 2007 DTI submitted a "Pre-Application" with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to explore the possibility of destroying this land to build a Gas Compressor Station because it was "conveniently located" near the gas pipeline. They then revoked the pre-application stipulating they intended to pursue the development of a gas compressor station in 2012 (the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of South Mountain) in Frederick County, MD and a month later purchased Fox's Tavern and the surrounding land. What do you believe they were thinking when they bought the land? Do you think they were planning to build elsewhere? We don't think so which is why we continue our efforts to protect the land in Middletown, MD. Visit our site for more information (www.cpmv.org).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
