Madison Co. approves new event venue project

MADISON COUNTY Va. (WVIR) - The Madison County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors are giving the green light for a planned event space that has garnered a lot of attention.

Barbara Miller submitted an application back in May to create an event venue. She plans to use the space for a variety of activities including weddings, camping and corporate events.

The plan has received some push back from people in the area, but the commission and board ultimately voted in favor of the project late Wednesday, August 5.

“I want to be able to share with people, you know, helping people get back in touch with nature, learn about farming and sustainable living, learn about alternative energy,” Miller said.

Miller says she also plans to use the space to education children about nature.
