As always, lots of stuff on the agenda. I may not be able to make this meeting; anyone going who will be able to live-tweet it? I’ve found that the live-tweeting combined with the after-meeting summaries are extremely helpful for the community who reads them.
Lots of stuff as usual last night. I’m putting this together quickly and will try to come back and update it later today.

As always, lots of stuff on the agenda after the jump.
Regarding the Tourism Zone, these are two relevant PDFs from Albemarle County’s site – Executive Summary 3 April 2013 and an Executive Summary from 5 June 2013. The Tourism Assets Map is interesting; what would you add to the map?
Lamentably, I had to leave about 30 minutes early.
Click through, scroll to the bottom and read the tweet summary I put together if you’re interested. Schools, Crozet Library, a Crozet crime update of sorts, infrastructure concerns and more.
Importantly:
Old library closing on 24 August. New Crozet library soft opening 4 September. Reminder: be nice to staff as they open

I’m glad I went and live-tweeting the Crozet Community Advisory Council meeting last night; the interaction on Twitter highlighted how important it is to have outside voices paying attention but also that outside people are paying attention. I pay a lot of attention to what’s happening in Crozet – both because I love it and live here, but also so I can better advise my clients. Had I not attended and tweeted last night, I wouldn’t have known about a lot of the stuff listed below. Suggestion: look at the highlights, click through to read the entire Storify then get involved.
Highlights –
– Someone is apparently interested in the Barnes Lumberyard
– 1306 and 1278 Crozet Avenue are going to have some sort of infill redevelopment (nothing showing yet at Albemarle’s County View)
– Funding has temporarily fallen through for Claudius Place
– Crozet schools are on their way to getting crowded – see the tweets.
– I’m still baffled that no one thought Old Trail would have kids (apparently someone thought it’d be all retirees)
– Crozet Fireworks – 6 July
– Meeting on 19 June to discuss Critical Slopes proposed changes. (this is a potentially big deal).
