 Keep Ebony Country is a grassroots effort and campaign to preserve the historic integrity and authentic non-commercialized character of the Ebony, VA community. We mobilized in 2019 to oppose efforts to bring in Dollar General. 

Our momentum comes from a shared commitment from the local community as well as a generosity of time, talent, and financial contributions. 

Despite overwhelming public opposition to Dollar General, 3 of 5 members of the Board of Supervisors voted earlier this year to pass a rezoning request that would allow Dollar General into the area. They voted in opposition to the home district Supervisor who voted to deny the rezoning request.

The Board of Supervisors voted against  community interests and demonstrated a blatant disregard of existing land-use management governance tools designed to protect  rural residential/farming communities like Ebony. 

After taking some time to reflect and consider our options, we decided to proceed with an Appeal of the Board's rezoning decision -- because of the merits of our case, what is at stake, and on behalf of all who stood up in opposition.

When the Appeal is complete, any leftover funds received after 4/11/2020 that remain in the account will be refunded proportionally to the respective share of contribution.
