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.

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.

Food Drive at Western
Via email:
Western is currently running a food drive in support of WAHS Senior, Nicole Muller’s national food drive initiative, Neighbors-4-Neighbors. Our local food bank aids 30,000 of our community members ( 40% of them children) each month who are in need of food assistance.
Please send in non-perishable food with your student on Monday, January 3 or Tuesday, January 4, 2011.
The food drive will end next week and it would great to show our community the giving spirit that is so much a part of our school. If every student contributes just one can of food (more would be great), the food bank will receive over 1000 cans of food from the WAHS student body. That will help tremendously at a time when donations are low, yet the need for the food assistance provided by the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank remains high.
Let’s begin the new year right with helping out those neighbors less fortunate than us.

So, Is the New Road to be Named “Peach Street”?

She said county welcomes community input on the possible name.

Recycle Your Christmas Tree At Crozet Park
Via press release:
Trees will be recycled into free mulch for the public
It’s almost that time of year again! As in the past, the Albemarle County Parks & Recreation Dept will host its annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program beginning December 26, 2010 through January 17, 2011. The Christmas Tree Recycling Program collects discarded Christmas trees which are chipped into mulch and then offered to the public at no cost. This program has been in operation since 1988 and recycles over 3400 trees each year; which in turn yields over 144 cubic yards of mulch. Not only does this recycling program provide citizens a place to dispose of a potentially large and cumbersome item, it also reduces the impact on our landfill.
