Catoctin Mountain Alliance records, 1985-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/263053155

These papers are files compiled by B. Powell Harrison who chaired this organization, originally named the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Association; in Feb. 1987 the name was briefly changed to TBD Group (To Be Determined); on 1 June 1987 the group voted to change its name to Catoctin Mountain Alliance. These records date from 1985 after the filing of the first request for a special exception by Beacon Hills Farm Associates and continue until 1995 with the announcement that marketing would begin on the Beacon Hill property under the plan of development which had been approved by the Loudoun County Planning Commission in 1992, a proposal approved by the Catoctin Mountain Alliance. Records include news articles, speeches, letters, memos, zoning applications, lawsuits, financial records, and Harrison's notes regarding the proposed development of Beacon Hill. Records reflect order in which documents were arranged in Harrison's files; they are not always in chronological order.
