Crozet's community blog
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.

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.
Voice your opinion now rather than gripe about things in five years. See the agenda and supporting docs at Albemarle’s site.

In the meantime here are three recent photos in Crozet …
Goodwin Creek bakery wants to be your friend. (great bread, purchased at Great Valu)
We’ve had some great sunsets in Crozet recently.
Harris Teeter has more local foods … “Six or fewer hours from the farm to your Harris Teeter”
Fardowner’s new patio:
Cocina del Sol is ugly. I hope the gray is a primer.
Update: It’s not permanent. Thanks to @brmtcrozet
@crozette @realcrozetva It’s not permanent, they could only paint what was under roof because of the rain! Not to worry!!

Update #2 – Aargh. It’s going to stay ugly.
False alarm @realcrozetva @crozette @rprav8r, I hate to tell you but that is the final color of La Cocina! Sorry for getting your hopes up:(

I’m not it, but I’d like to think RealCrozetVa is a good resource for those moving to the area and for those who live here.
I love digging through search terms that bring people to my blogs. This was an interesting one last week … someone from New York searching for resources to educate themselves on Crozet.
I assume they’re contemplating moving to the Crozet area; what are the things you would tell someone moving to Crozet?
1 – Read the Crozet Gazette.
2 – Educate yourself about the Crozet schools. (Western Albemarle High School, Henley Middle School, Crozet Elementary, Brownsville Elementary, Field School …)
Hmmm … are prices flattening in Crozet?
Time will tell.
Who doesn’t love Crozet Pizza? For me, the pizza debate really is Dr. Ho’s versus Crozet Pizza.

Good. From today’s Daily Progress: (follow along or contact the Crozet Trails crew via their blog)
The Crozet Trails Crew — one of numerous local groups of its kind — has about eight to 10 regulars, and Mauzy hopes that number grows.
“Once we start working on the trails that really connect the community … I feel like that’s what’s really going to bring folks out,” Mauzy said. “When they have a safe route where they can ride their bikes with their kids on a Sunday, or on a Saturday morning to the farmers market in downtown Crozet, I think that’s going to do wonders for the community.”The Scottsville Trails Group, Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club, Virginia Master Naturalists and Neighbors of our Parks are also among regular volunteer groups. The Rivanna Trails Foundation, Rivanna Conservation Society and the Appalachian Trail Club also work to provide trails in the county.
Mauzy and county leaders say workers are focused on building a system in which many trails connect. Some Crozet residents also hope to have, eventually, a trail system that connects Crozet to Charlottesville.
Better to do it ourselves than depend on the government.
Also – they are looking for a local school liaison. Volunteers wanted.
