Friend of Culpeper County,

Concerned Culpeper Citizens (CCC) began work in mid-2001 when several citizens discovered that County planners and private developers were advancing extremely different proposals for future growth. CCC organized as a non-profit corporation in November 2001and is registered under the Virginia Solicitation of Contributions Act and with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Current membership is 300 as at January 1, 2007.

CCC is not a lobbying organization and does not endorse candidates for elected office. It commissions and analyzes studies of significant public and private policies and proposals, which relate to its stated purpose:

"To respect and preserve the best features of Culpeper County by providing public information regarding economic growth as it relates to quality of life and environmental assets within the context of the County's historical and rural legacy."

CCC publishes objective findings and expert opinions for public information; and testifies before public boards and commissions. Fact Sheets on current issues under study are available by contacting the organization or one of its officers. Endorsement of CCC's purpose will be considered membership for the purposes of future mailing lists. Such list will not be provided to other organizations.

As we enter our seventh year of operations we would like to thank each and every one of our supporters for your interest in respecting and preserving Culpeper County.
