Legacy Organization Information

Rockingham Legacy Organization

Community Alliance for Preservation

Formed in 1999 in response to a proposed I-81 bypass around Harrisonburg, which would have opened the county’s core agricultural reserve and historic battlefields to development, CAP broadened its mission to encourage good public policy on a range of local land use and transportation issues for almost 20 years.

Largely through the Executive Director Kim Sandum’s policy expertise, careful approach and hard work, CAP consistently provided timely and accurate information to foster good public policy in Rockingham and Harrisonburg.

In addition to its important work on land use and transportation decisions, CAP was instrumental in the County’s 2014 rejection of what would have been Virginia’s first exploratory Marcellus Shale gas well.  It also played an important role in the successful campaign to keep oil and gas drilling out of one-million acres of the George Washington National Forest (GW Forest).

Sandum now serves as the Rockingham Coordinator and Transportation Lead for the Alliance.
