Mayfield is shaped by two issues it never asked for - a pipeline and a railroad. Its residents are leading the charge to right old wrongs and make the community safe for those who live there.
Thank you for solid reporting on our city. I learned a lot in this piece — though I’ve been a resident for 36 years. Let’s undo past wrongs and protect our beloved community.
Mayfield has another issue it never asked for besides a pipeline and a railroad . At the request of the City Manager and City Council the Industrial Park at the edge of their community is being looked at for a Data Center. So along with pipeline and tankers full of hazardous materials they may be looking at 24 hour a day humming/vibration and the smell of diesel from huge generators needed to support this Data Center.
I believe the colonial pipeline burst twice in the 70's spewing over 100,000 gallons, some of it reached the Rappahannock River. The City had to shut their water intakes down for almost a week each time.
