It has come to our attention that Grace Anglican Church, located on Rt 340 near the entrance to White Post Village, has submitted a proposal and is requesting zoning variances in order to construct a very large addition to their facility and expand the adjoining parking lot.
While this structure does not fall within our historic district (which prevents the Clarke Co. Historic Preservation Commission from governing these plans), the planned changes may have a profound, permanent impact to the entrance to our village, our community, and its surrounding neighbors.
As the WPVA has a keen interest in the preservation and restoration of important community structures, we were even more disheartened to learn that the Church's expansion plans include removal of the 'Meade's School' circa late-19th century. Photo attached of current state of building showing this historical structure.
A public hearing discussing this project will be held Monday, July 27, 2026 at 10AM in the Main Meeting Room, 2nd Floor, of the Clarke Co. Government center located at 101 Chalmers Ct, Berryville VA. This session is open to the public for information and comment.
If you are unable to attend but would like to make sure your voice is heard on this matter, please email Jeremy Camp, Zoning Administrator and Senior Planner, at [email protected].
