It is building a more centrally located visitor center to slash its gas bills by two-thirds, and for the first time is bidding for group tours to save on expenses for bus fuel and guides. Guests checking into Colonial Williamsburg hotels are now greeted by discreetly worded appeals for donations; the foundation hopes to receive about 1,000 gifts this year-double...
