For immediate release. April 2,

 The Stop I-3 Coalition is pleased to announce the hiring
of Holly Demuth as its executive director, and the
election of Lucy Bartlett of Tiger, Georgia, as the
new chair of the board of directors.
“Building a duplicate interstate connecting
Savannah to Knoxville would be an irresponsible use
of taxpayers’ money,” Demuth said. “Stopping
a proposed road is a tall challenge, but one that this
well-organized, knowledgeable, and skilled coalition
has adeptly taken on.
“The Coalition continues to work to protect
the integrity of rural communities, drinking water
resources, trout streams, and forests by stopping Interstate
3,” she said. “With the continued involvement
of concerned groups and individuals, this road will
be stopped.”
Demuth, a graduate of Agnes Scott College, most recently
served as development director of the Carolina Mountain
Land Conservancy in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
Before that, she worked as a development associate
for the Community Foundation of Henderson County, and
as a National Park Service ranger. “For me, one
of life’s finest pleasures,” Demuth added, “ is
exploring along a babbling mountain stream in the southern
Appalachians. The sounds, smells, and visuals are incomparable.”
Bartlett, previously vice-chair of the coalition,
succeeds Greg Kidd with the National Parks Conservation
Association, Asheville. Ted Doll of Sautee-Nacoochee,
Georgia, takes over from Bartlett as vice-chair.
“We are pleased to see Holly come on board,
and look forward to what I am sure will be an excellent
and strong performance,” said Bartlett. To learn
