Great Smoky Mountains victory
In March of last year, we posted a blog entry and ran an action campaign on keeping the so called "Road to Nowhere" from slicing through the Great Smoky Mountains. Over 700 activists contacted the National Park Service, asking them to forego finishing the road (which would cost tax payers $600 million) and instead offer Swain County a $52 million settlement.
Great news! Swain County and the National Park Service agreed to the monetary settlement; the Road to Nowhere will not destroy anymore of the Smokies. Thanks to everyone who made sure their voice was heard on this important issue. Check out the full story here: http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/724077.html.
