Mr. Cox asked is Ms. Richards has approached Albemarle County about being involved, adding that their involvement would make the concept more attractive to him. Ms. Richards said she has informally spoken to a few members of the Board of Supervisors, but has not formally approached them. Mr. Cox said he would tike t:o explore the idea with Albemarle County. Mr. Cox said 'he has no real sense of what Long Beach looks tike and-referred to disparaging remarks made about it in a letter to the editor. Ms. Richards said she feels the important aspect is the symbolism of the sister city relationship between communities at the beginning and end of the Lewis and Clark trail.
