Round Hill Streetscape Master Plan

"To coordinate various public and private endeavors [relating to trails, streets and sidewalks] in a comprehensive manner, the Town commissioned a master plan for the Town’s major streetscapes. The intent of this plan is to protect and enhance the visual character of the town, and the safety and quality of life of its residents, by keeping streets safe, attractive and functional. It will also help guide public decisions and investments and protect private investments made by business owners and residents of Round Hill." -- From the Streetscape Committee Master Plan
