As stewards of Yorktown's rich historical heritage, the Conserve York County Foundation is dedicated to balancing the benefits of tourism with the preservation of our community's unique character and history. In light of recent developments regarding the high-volume cruise ship use of Yorktown Village, we have prepared a detailed position statement. This document reflects our commitment to protecting Yorktown Village from commercial exploitation and environmental harm, while ensuring that the charm and historical significance of our county are maintained for future generations.

We encourage all concerned citizens, stakeholders, and policymakers to read our position statement to understand our perspective on this critical issue. The statement outlines our stance, concerns, and the reasons behind our opposition to the Princess Cruise Line initiative. Our aim is to foster a dialogue that prioritizes the conservation of Yorktown Village’s invaluable historical and environmental assets.
