I had the pleasure to work with Heather and found that she was not only a talented professional but a lovely person. Her heart was in her job and she worked diligently for the people of Cape Charles. In a thankless position she gave it her all. I wish her PEACE.

I cannot comprehend the perspective that somehow, Cape Charles has “sold its soul to become another filthy money grubbing tourist trap.” Based upon a rather voluminous amount of feedback from Hotel guests, Cape Charles in fact retains its quintessential small-town character. On a personal level, our family hosts friends throughout the summer, and the recurring theme is the love of this Town’s “screened-porch door” feel.

I see nothing transpiring in our business community or residents to suggest Cape Charles is a “tourist trap”. It is genuine, relaxing, serene, and welcoming-rather than fake, loud, and exploitative.

No doubt divisive municipal decisions have been made; but I fail to see a correlation between these disputes and the notion that Cape Charles has “sold its soul”

In my opinion, Heather did an outstanding job of balancing growth with the need to retain Cape Charles authenticity. In my experiences, she participated daily in many “neighborly” outreach and bridge-building efforts to reconcile these divergent paths.

No community is utopia, and ideas produce differences. When these differences yield to resentments, the result is unfounded and negative assertions which belie the progress happening today in Cape Charles.

Now is the time for the town of Cape Charles to change the rule and demand that their town manager actually live in the town.

Good-bye Heather.

Maybe, just maybe Cape Charles is starting to wake up.

Can’t help but think this is a tragedy for Cape Charles. I remember when Heather first became town manager (after several debacles, including the embarrassing Vaccaro affair); we were so excited to finally have a home town girl working for our small town. Much has changed since then though, as we’ve watched Cape Charles sell its small town soul in order to become just another filthy money grubbing tourist trap. Being stuck in the middle of so much fraud and scandal over the last couple of years, can’t blame her for wanting to just get shut of the whole mess and move onto more pure environs. Good luck girl, the town will miss you.

Now, what new horror awaits the hapless citizens of Cape Charles? Somebody call JJ Abrams, maybe he can lend us a script….
