• County officials express concern over $700M rail trail update (dnronline.com) — Timberville’s town manager is raising alarms about a sudden $700 million shift in plans for the Shenandoah Rail Trail, saying key studies and public input seem to have vanished from state materials. Local and state officials worry the new rail-with-trail concept is being rushed without proper vetting, potentially leaving communities like Timberville with an incomplete or poorly executed project.
