There is only one planet in our solar system that has air we can breathe.
Let's help keep it that way and Celebrate Earth Day 2009.

Principal founder of Earth Day, Senator Gaylord Nelson (June 4, 1916 – July 3, 2005) was not only an environmentalist but a small business advocate. The first Earth Day was held in 1970 and has since grown to an effort that includes billions of people worldwide.

Nelson left the Senate in 1981, and continued to fight for our planet while counselor of The Wilderness Society. His efforts involved many preservation issues, including elimination of logging subsidies, protection for our national parks, and expansion of the National Wilderness Preservation System. As a result of his efforts we have the Environmental Protection Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act.

HGBA is getting in on the act. We will be a sponsor for the
Rotary's Earth Day celebration. JOIN US for worldwide good.

Supervisor Watch - Shout out for LOUD Road work

I-66 Blasting operations on Monday 6th April 2009 through Thursday 10th April 2009. 
There will be two shots per day at 11 am and 1 pm.

As part of the ongoing construction operations on the I-66 project in Gainesville, all lanes of I-66 will be shutdown with the help of Virginia State Police and/or Prince William County Police (on University Boulevard) to allow blasting operations to be safely carried out.  The project staff and the contractor have met with the Fire Marshal and Prince William Police to discuss the blasting operations.

The shutdown will be from 11 am to 11:15 am and from 1 pm to 1:15 pm every day.  We will be advising the VDOT Smart Traffic Center and WTOP of the exact time of the shutdown in case of any unforeseen changes.

The blasting will be carried out on I-66 (at mile marker 44) between Route 234 Bypass and the University Boulevard overpass.

As such, I-66 Westbound traffic will be stopped at the 234 Bypass, I-66 Eastbound traffic will be stopped just past the bridge over Route 29, and University Boulevard will be stopped either side of the bridge approaches.

Variable message boards have been placed on I-66 and University Boulevard to advise the traveling public of this work.
