After reading a plethora of ideas about the Wherry 100 acres I have come to a conclusion. It seems that at the present time "open land" to maximize the views of the distant beaches to the Northeast and the reverse view of the low walled Fort seem to predominate. I suggest that the Fort, Moat,and Museum have all the historic features allowing it to "stand alone" as the Monuments preeminent draw. The hundred acres of recommended park land is simply too valuable to not draw upon to create more capital when the economy improves in the future. Until then, after removing the old Wherry buildings, temporary features such as trails and historic markers could benefit this land. About 50 acres should also be reserved, away from the Fort structure, to sell to private developers for Virginias first Resort/Casino. Level the ugly concrete Batteries to improve the view from the Fort to the beaches and vice versa. Remember, deeded restrictions can make all Monroes beaches accessible to the public in perpetuity. Probably a good idea to keep future development 200 yds away from the moat to improve viewing aspects.
