 Peter
Candland, Gainesville Brentsville Supervisor ( Republican running for
Gainesville Supervisor open seat in 23 Aug 2011 primary) |
||
| Candland
says "we need to preserve the Rural Crescent" and notes that he
supports "a balanced approach between conservation and meeting the
needs of our citizens" when it comes to growth in the county, including
making sure that "our infrastructure needs are not overlooked as we
maintain a community that supports families and workers."
Expresses support for PWCBG's core principles, adding that
regarding infrastructure, we need to "hold the developers to a higher
standard then we've seen in the past." ("Candland in race for Gainesville supervisor” by Rose Murphy, Bull Run Observer, 17 June 2011, p. 22) |
| Martha Hendley, current Gainesville District Planning
Commissioner (Republican running for
Gainesville Supervisor open seat in 23 Aug 2011 primary) |

| Hendley
supports county "growing responsibly"; favors "linking development not
just to transportation but also to general
infrastructure, such as making sure there is adequate funding for
police, fire
departments, schools and other like items to offset [the] cost of more
people moving into the area." Says in some
cases it would be cheaper for county to buy land it wants to protect
from
development: "...in the
long run
development can cost you more .. than just buying [land you want to
protect from development] outright." ("Hendley focuses on development, infrastructure in Gainesville race” by Dan Roem, The Gainesville Times, 9 June 2011, pp. A1, A3) |

anyone who has ever served on the Prince William Board of County
Supervisors" and "has received over 75% of his campaign funding from
contributors in Fairfax County so far in 2011." Promises to
"scrutinize all proposed developments carefully for their impacts on
taxes, the economy and the community, oppose road projects that only
open new areas to development and vigorously support the Rural
Crescent." ("Pugh in GOP primary for Coles supervisor" by Rose Murphy, Bull Run Observer, 1 July 2011, p. 18) |
