House Resolution 670 is a commemorative resolution honoring Mariners Landing, a resort and housing development on Smith Mountain Lake, and its owner, Waller Perrow. The resolution praises the property’s amenities, ongoing improvements, and role as a destination for residents and visitors, including golf, dining, wellness, tennis, pickleball, and other recreational offerings.
The resolution highlights Perrow’s acquisition and redevelopment of the property, his efforts to restore and expand the site, and his creation of the Bottles and Bites venue and the Stillwaters program for veterans and first responders. It also notes his role in helping revitalize the Smith Mountain Lake Wine Festival after the COVID-19 pandemic. The measure is purely ceremonial and does not create, amend, or repeal any law.
Impact
HR670 has no direct legal or regulatory effect on Virginia statutes, agencies, or private parties. It is a House commendation that formally recognizes Mariners Landing and directs the Clerk of the House to present a copy to Waller Perrow, but it does not change state law, impose obligations, or appropriate funds.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and appreciative. The House agreed to the resolution, and the text reflects praise for economic development, community amenities, beautification efforts, and service-oriented programming for veterans and first responders. No opposition or recorded controversy appears in the available materials.
Contention
There is no notable substantive contention in the available record. Because the resolution is honorary rather than policy-driven, it does not present the kinds of legal or fiscal disputes that typically generate debate. The only identifiable focus is the resolution’s praise for Waller Perrow’s stewardship of Mariners Landing and the broader community benefits attributed to the redevelopment.
