Excellent resource, Jon.
Your application confirms my fears. I live in a red zone about 2-3 miles from the white.
*sigh*

UGH!!! i am located in a RED ZONE!!
Central new jersey isn't really great for astronomy. At least I'm not located in a white zone 
Also, a dark site with light polluted skies is better than not having a dark site with stray light coming in, with less light pollutants.

Jshine,
Tell me more about the finder.
What kind of reply have you received from IDA Tucson?
I am affiliated with Dark Skies Northwest @ www.scn.org/darksky
Maybe I can find help here if you are still looking for someone to take over your work.
