John Clark plans to develop a traditional town, part of which is sited along three miles of the tidal Rappahannock River in Virginia.
"A self-described "free spirit," John Clark is a Washington D.C.-based environmentalist and developer. He has been slowly but surely chipping at all the barriers in the path of his dream - including other environmentalists - for almost a decade and a half. But he has never given up or even lost sight of his dream - so strong is his commitment to his concept of an environmentally sound, socially grounded, pedestrian-oriented, productive community that is a sound financial venture for investors as well."
