I will share my thoughts when not mobile but thought this was worthy of pushing out immediately. I will clean up the post here as well with formatting and such.

Just received by email:
“Subject: [CCA] URGENT: Supervisor meeting tonight threatens CCAC purpose and autonomy
Tonight at 6:00 PM the Board of Supervisors may completely undermine the effectiveness of Crozet Community Advisory Council. Your immediate input is important.
Highlights –
– King Family talking about their special use permit request; neighbors saying the Kings are good neighbors but Half Mile Branch is a problem. This highlighted a bigger Crozet concern – infrastructure needs are exceeding what current infrastructure is designed to handle.
– A bit of an economic development conversation
– The Moose Lodge presentation was pushed to March
– Milestone Partners & Ombudsman topics ran out of time

As far as meetings go, this should be awfully informative.
(one small observation, item of encouragement – lots happen in these meetings – over many, many months and years. Please, please come to more than just the one meeting that affects you. Community involvement and awareness are work – valuable, necessary work.)
Agenda after the break.
A large crowd showed up, including Charlottesville Tomorrow and NBC 29 to hear and learn about the proposed Foothill Crossing rezoning.
A great discussion was held, mainly with community members expressing the need and desire for infrastructure in Crozet as the developer described how the rezoning will route traffic through Westhall, Foothills, Westlake Hills, and Parkside Village.
What followed was a  pretty good discussion about economic growth & development in Crozet, the future of downtown Crozet, what Crozetians want,  what the community can and will support and more.
I’ll update this when Charlottesville Tomorrow,NBC 29, and Crozet Gazette  post their stories.
If you want to learn and exert your opinion/influence, come to these meetings. Again. And again. And again.
Storify story recapping all of the tweets after the break. Please, please read them all and get involved.
