The assembled committee discussed the progress being made at the Fairview site and the restoration work accomplished by the contractor. The committee chair agreed to conduct regular visits to the site as the work progresses. The committee also discussed the need to prepare an accurate history of the house and property, as well as, the matter of a proper sign. Town staff agreed to check with local sign companies for pricing information to report back to the committee. Also, the committee briefly discussed the matter of whether to continue the crop/farming arrangement with Appalachian Sustainable Development (http://www.asdevelop.org/). It seemed to be the consensus of group that the methodology used, as well as, the types of crops grown during 2009 was most likely not in keeping with the committee's emerging long-term vision for the Fairview Historic Homestead. The future plans for the property and the vision that the committee has for its future uses are to be developed at future meetings.
