Agenda after the break; bolding mine.

If you can make it, this could be an important CCAC meeting.
CCAC is hosting a meeting on Thursday night, October 2, with Nate Cunningham who comes to share his knowledge of Community Development Corporations. Frank Stoner and Ann Mallek have invited him to come speak to us at 7:00 p.m. at the Field School in Crozet.
A community development corporation (CDC) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated to provide programs, offer services and engage in other activities that promote and support community development. CDCs usually serve a geographic location such as a neighborhood or a town. They often focus on serving lower-income residents or struggling neighborhoods. They can be involved in a variety of activities including economic development, education, community organizing and real estate development. These organizations are often associated with the development of affordable housing.

Lots of interesting news, as usual, at last night’s CCAC meeting. Really, more should go, listen, learn and get involved. This group has immense influence, and this meeting is where one can learn a lot about the current state of Crozet.
– CCAC Meeting location changes next month
– Flag and basket holders for the new light poles on Crozet Ave
– Someone stole the “Welcome to Crozet” sign on 240. Jerk.
– Harris Teeter pedestrian crossing delayed. Complain about it here.
– Crozet School crossing delayed. That this has been in the works for 4+ years is absurd.
– Read all of the tweets about Frank Stoner’s comments (starting at 19:50); they’re on point and interesting – wind energy, hotel, apartments. Notably, “Private money expects some return.” – an understanding of which has seemingly proved elusive thus far.
– The Lodge’s 3rd Annual Crozet Culinary Competition is 18 September.
– Re Store n Station has applied for an ABC Off license; rumors of the license application (currently Off) to be an on as well.
