New “Welcome to Crozet” Signs
From Meg West:
As a member of both the Crozet Community Association (CCA) and the Crozet Community Advisory Council (CCAC), I volunteered to put together three locations for Crozet Welcome signs. These signs will be in the Route 240 and Route 250 Entrance Corridors. Below is the design for the Welcome Sign that has been approved by the Crozet community. We are asking individuals and businesses to help raise the money. The three locations are:
Sign Rt 240: Have permission from Bob Wichser, Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, to place a sign on the west edge of the property right after the lagoon pump station site.
Sign 250 West: Property of Joe and Ellen Waff, at Missing Acres on 250 going West. They are right next to Scott Watkins landscaping business. The Waff’s are willing to have a sign placed at that corner.
Sign 250 East: Property of F & R (Froehling & Robertson, Inc.) 6181 Rockfish Gap Turnpike, Mr Tracy Arrington has permission from his corporate office in Richmond for us to place a sign on the edge of their property and the Moose Lodge.
Sign size is 6 sq. ft. 23″ tall x 36″ wide, and on I believe, 5 foot posts. The cost per sign is $350 and $60 to install. The Loins Club has volunteered to mulch heavily under neath and around all three signs and we can do any maintenance needed in the future. Total would be about $1,230.
We are placing donation containers around Crozet locations for individuals to contribute. Or if you would be interested in making a donation, please make it out to Crozet Community Association,
P O Box 653, Crozet, VA 22932 (non-tax deductible)
If you have any questions please call me at 823-5507. Thank you, Meg West
New Track wanted at WAHS
A number of track and field athletes and their parents are lobbying for a new surface to run on at Western Albemarle High School. They say the current track is not safe.
If government can’t provide it, why not fundraise for it?

This is the part where I beg a government or journalism student at Western Albemarle High school to attend this meeting and write a story for RealCrozetVA … after four years of asking, I’m thinking I shouldn’t hold my breath.
Update on Status of Crozet Projects
Thanks to Tim Tolson for putting this together.
This is an update from Trevor Henry, Capital Program Manager in the County’s Office of Facilities Development.
He met with the Project Manager’s (PMs) on the various Crozet Projects (Library/Main Street – Ron Lilley; Crozet Ave/Utilities – Jack Kelsey; Storm Water – Gregor Patsch) and assembled the attached update.
I have also posted this update, along with the still current October 2008 drawing of the planned improvements for StreetScape II, in our CCAC bulletin board in the Crozet Post Office.
Socialism at Western Albemarle?
Judge for yourself.
I acknowledge the biases that the Schilling show espouses, and that is why I’m posting the video of a Spanish teacher at WAHS, rather than cutting and pasting from the source blog entry.

Attached and Single Family Home Sales in Crozet – Looking at a Decade
Hmmm … can you spot the peak?
I am optimistic that we are witnessing a stabilization of volume; once the market achieves a consistent volume, we should be able to see prices moderate.
