EDA in Focus: Let’s take a look back
The great thing about an online news source is that the stories are always there. With a story that develops over time, such as the unfolding events at the Front Royal-Warren County EDA, it is easy to look back and see what happened at an earlier point in time.
As the EDA has its report due out early next week, Royal Examiner wanted to take readers back to an earlier time and see what brought us to where we are now. Readers will realize that the Royal Examiner has been on the forefront, bringing you the “news behind the news” with video of work sessions and meetings, rather than mere sound bites.
Front Royal Councilwoman Bébhinn Egger was instrumental in sounding the alarm that “something didn’t make sense, and Royal Examiner also stayed on top of the issue, breaking many stories along the way, about other EDA projects that had elements of “not making sense”, such as the sale price of 30-acres of land to Tran for $1 and the Workforce Housing project’s “free land” that wasn’t actually free.
We’ve selected from the 160+ stories the Royal Examiner has written about the EDA over the past 3 years.
