What? Blacksburg United for Responsible Growth (BURG) meeting
Where? Blacksburg public library
BURG had a meeting in the public library. The bottomline of the meeting was to inform the attendants that the fight with the developers is far from over. Indeed, they've only won a tiny little battle. Legal and financial updates were discussed. The dedication of the group is admirable. The hard work of Daniel Breslau and Lori Blanc is simply admirable. Their fundraising abilities are an example: over $30,000 in donations since things got started, at the beginning of the year.
BURG let the Burning Book, represented by Darren and I, talk about our collective. I think our ideas were well received. We actually got some useful feedback from a couple of community members regarding spaces downtown and the nuances of dealing with small book distributors.
