The City of Lynchburg should be kept whole as a single community of interest because it has a single public school system, a single local government (the city of Lynchburg), and one police and public safety department.
The City of Lynchburg should be kept whole as a single community of interest because it is our hub for downtown historical and cultural venues, such as the Academy Center of the Arts, the Lynchburg Museum System, and many historical sites that allow Lynchburg residents to benefit from this shared history. We live here in the City because we care about these venues and want to be close to these venues and we want to advocate for these venues along with our fellow residents.
Lynchburg is a single community of interest because it has one Economic Development Authority that prioritizes and plans for growth and development. Lynchburg is a small urban, relatively densely populated City that is growing. As such, our infrastructure, transportation, and planning needs and challenges are unique to us, and different from those of our surrounding, more rural counties. As a small urban city, we also have environmental and planning challenges that are unique to us. For example, loss of green spaces may not be an issue in our surrounding counties which are more rural, but it is a real issue in Lynchburg. So is the availability of good public transportation.
Lynchburg as a small urban city has a poverty rate that is significantly higher than our surrounding rural counties, and requires the commensurate additional services (housing, medical, transportation, schools) to serve this segment of higher needs population.
