The weather wasn’t want I expected, and Mother Nature kept messing with the clouds as I tried to get plenty of morning light to heighten the contrast.
Subject of the day was the changes going on at the Greenfield Center in Botetourt County, VA, an industrial park / recreational area owned by the county on land that used to be part of the Preston Plantation that was founded in the 1750’s.
I don’t like seeing all the new construction, as it was a really nice place to get some long views of the area, but then the county needs to make a return on their investment, and I’ve always known the day would come when that would come to fruition.
Folks got all upset when the old slave quarters were moved out of the way to make room for a shell building being put up by the county on speculation, mostly for the underhanded way it was being done, but also because it harms the historical value of the structures because they are no longer in their original context.
So besides the spec building, Eldor Corp is erecting a new factory to make auto parts, and Ballast Point Brewery is moving in to a building vacated by another parts manufacturer. It won’t be as fancy as their west coast operations, but there will be a tasting room.
