This month’s Crozet Gazette – the largest issue yet – is out. And it’s chock full of useful, good stuff.

– County Police Propose a Station in Old Crozet Library Depot – I think this space would make a much better restaurant or tourism center. Or, you know … a train station.

– Crozet Running will be opening in the lower level of the Crozet Library. Crozet has become a fantastic running community and this seems to be a great use of the Crozet Library space. (Selfishly, I’d love to see a bicycle café bar in Crozet as well.)

– Another complaint about the speed enforcement on Jarman’s Gap Road.

– Work to Start on Crozet Tunnel Trail – This is super exciting.

As a note, I’m awfully thankful for the Crozet Gazette – having dedicated journalists consistently covering local news is critical.

Thanks, Blue Ridge Internetworks, for the years of hosting.

RealCrozetVA has been hosted with Blue Ridge Internetworks for several years. I don’t know what generated the email, but one day I received an email from Baylor Fooks offering to host RealCrozetVA, gratis. I’ve said before that I write this site purely for the community as I love Crozet and the goal of RealCrozetVA has remained the same since its inception in September 2005.

So, thanks, Blue Ridge, for supporting community news and conversation and for offering phenomenal support on the very few times I’ve needed it. I know I haven’t said it enough, but I (and the readers) sincerely appreciate your support.

I noted the sign this morning when riding bikes to school (something I likely wouldn’t have done had I been driving).
