Orange County represents the final phase of our expansion plan. It spans 341 square miles, with parts of the county being closer and more oriented to Charlottesville, while other parts are closer to Fredericksburg. As with Madison, we are meeting with county professionals and residents to learn and to prepare. Some of our current Advocates already reside in Orange County, and we plan to recruit and train more Advocates from the local area. We intend to establish a local advisory board, and to include a representative from Orange County on our Board.
