Please support HB2306. This legislation would not only protect and ensure public access to the last surviving privately-held, founding-era, presidential home (of American’s 5th President James Monroe), but it would provide much-needed outdoor recreation access in a rapidly urbanizing area of Loudoun County. Importantly, this area has already been identified as having a high need for outdoor recreation facilities which this site could address. This unique opportunity is fiscally exciting too: Acquisition costs and significant start-up costs have already been covered through non-General Fund sources. As of January 1, 2025, $41.35M has been committed to Oak Hill State Park, towards a total goal of $52M for a property that is expected to have an annual revenue of at least at least $1M. We ask for your support of HB2306 to create a new state park in Loudoun County at James Monroe's Oak Hill.

I am against this bill which authorizes the Department of Conservation and Recreation to accept property for establishing a new state park in Loudoun County. Financial Implications: Accepting and developing approximately 1,240 acres into a state park would require significant financial investment from the state for acquisition, maintenance, and operation, potentially diverting funds from other necessary conservation or public service projects. Land Use Concerns: The property in question, Oak Hill Farm, might be more beneficial if used for agricultural purposes or left in private hands for local economic activities, contributing to food security or local employment rather than being converted into a park. Local Community Impact: The establishment of a state park could alter the character of the local community, potentially affecting property values, local traffic, and the way of life for residents, especially without broad community consultation. Environmental Management: While creating a state park aims at conservation, the process of converting land, especially if it involves construction or significant landscape changes, might initially disturb local ecosystems before achieving long-term conservation benefits. Maintenance and Operational Challenges: State parks require ongoing maintenance and management, which could strain the Department of Conservation and Recreation's resources, especially if the park does not generate sufficient visitor revenue to offset these costs. Precedent for Future Acquisitions: This bill sets a precedent for future land acquisitions by the state, which might lead to expectations or pressures for similar actions in other areas, potentially leading to overreach in state land ownership. Opportunity Cost: The resources and focus dedicated to this new park could mean less attention or funding for existing state parks or other conservation efforts that might need enhancement or are underutilized. Lack of Public Invitation: There seems to be a lack of public process or community input in the decision to accept this land, which could lead to dissatisfaction or opposition from local residents who might have different visions for the land's use. I oppose this legislation due to the financial burden, potential negative impacts on local land use, community dynamics, and the environment, alongside concerns over resource allocation and the lack of inclusive decision-making, urging for a more considered approach to land acquisition for state parks.
