Tree work on Jarman’s Gap
I’ve fielded a couple of questions over the past few days …
Any idea why they are doing the major tree clear cutting on jarmans rd? Could this be for the widening/sidewalks or dominion clipping to prevent power outages?
And:
Over the past 2 days they have been taking down what appears to be most of the trees on the southern side of Jarmans Gap Road starting from the west end. Is this for the sidewalks? Just curious if you happened to hear anything, sorry if I missed anything about it.
So … what’s going on?
From Jack Kelsey with the County of Albemarle:
The sidewalk will be on the north side of JGR only. Utility relocations are planned for the south side and must be completed before VDOT bid the construction contract. So the tree removal is most likely associated with the utility relocation activities.
And from Howard Tomlinson, Project Manager of VDOT confirms:
Yes the sidewalk is planned only on the northern side of Rte.691 under the UPC 11129 project. Any tree removal at this time will be for utility relocation.
Who Wants to Write for RealCrozetVA?
I’ve asked a couple of times over the years for folks to write at RealCrozetVA.
In 2005. And in 2008. And yesterday someone actually emailed me and asked if they could submit a story.
Short answer: Yes. Please do write for RealCrozetVA.
Slightly longer answer from 2008:
The goal remains the same now as it did then – to provide a forum for Crozetians to learn about and discuss growth issues, cultural events, news … whatever the community dictates. A lot has changed, and a lot remains the same.
While this is a “hyper-local” blog and I’m sure I could do some things to get business from it (I happen to be a Realtor), getting business was never the goal.
The offer to the community remains – if you want to write for RealCrozetVA, please let me know. At the very least, I’d appreciate your telling your friends about this site.
Admittedly, the glory and fame is overwhelming, but if you’re up to the challenge, and can stand to spell correctly and use correct grammar, please let me know if you would like to write for the site.
Tracking the Craig Townhomes Being Built in Old Trail
I am working with some wonderful buyer clients who are building a home in Old Trail. The building process started when they were out of town, so I started taking pictures and videos for them so that they would be able to see what was happening at the site of their new home.

Yancey Business Park Shot Down
Charlottesville Tomorrow reports:
While Albemarle County is seeking to increase its industrial and commercial land activity, proposals reviewed as part of the Crozet Master Plan to build a new business park and convert some residential homes to mixed use have been rejected by the Planning Commission.
The one thing I have not yet heard or read is what types of businesses might be in the business park. That would be helpful.
