Red River Gorge United is a nonprofit 501c3 organization. We are a volunteer-based group established out of a perceived need to oppose a proposed development near the Red River Gorge, a proposed development that our members unilaterally agree is out-of-scale with the region and poorly located for the expressed benefit which is claims to be seeking.
We consist of local business owners, community leaders, and concerned residents unified against the “top-down” methods by which this development has progressed, and any other development that might overwhelm capacity of local infrastructure, disrupt local economies, and destroy or degrade natural resources in the region.
