Crozet's community blog
This from the Henley Matters newsletter is timely, as I’ve recently gotten a couple questions about Western Albemarle school district redistricting (and redistricting is always a point of conversation with clients who are considering buying homes in Crozet).
If you can, please serve. Deadline is Friday, 22 January!

This should be interesting. Restore n’ Station wants a drive-through, more gas pumps, and an auto repair component. Updates from Adelaide proposed development, and an update about Downtown Crozet redevelopment.
Make some time, if you can. The meeting is at the Meadows this month, so no wi-fi. Darn it.

It’s the time of year when the Virginia General Assembly is in session.
Now is a good time to track the bills our legislators are sponsoring.
And for fun, I like to see who gives how much to each legislator … it seems that the Dominion Political Action Committee, per Richmond Sunlight, has given $2,500 to each. Good fun.
Even more information on the money each has received can be found at VPAP.
Dig in.
Median sales price, where are new homes selling, what neighborhoods are coming online in Crozet? We love questions!
Our experiment continues. David and IÂ love to talk about real estate. We thought the Crozet Real Estate Conversation series would be a good place to talk about real estate and share some of our thoughts and insights about life in Crozet & the Crozet real estate market.
Read/comment more at the facebook post.
David and/or I are at the Crozet Mudhouse on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month. Please stop by to chat; we pulled (and know) a lot more real estate data and information than we shared in the video.

As always, great content in the Crozet Gazette! A few of my recommended stories (for what it’s worth) … and don’t forget to pick one up at a Crozet store — and buy something while you’re there!
2015 was. I despise “top 10” type posts, but looking back can be a useful exercise.
Growth and development continue to be huge issues, Downtown Crozet’s redevelopment begins anew, the Crozet Library celebrated two years, WAHS got a new principal, Brownsville’s principal moved mid-year, the CCAC meetings were informative as always. I know I say this often, but the boring meetings are where things happen … months and months before most people get informed enough to get up in arms. Being a good citizen is time-consuming, and worth it.
Thank you to everyone who reads, lurks, comments, subscribes, here and on the ever-growing RealCrozetVA Facebook page/community. Y’all make Crozet a great place to live.
A few thoughts after tonight’s CCAC meeting:
Update – Sean Tubbs with Charlottesville Tomorrow has as well.

It almost didn’t make it. It almost fell, treads over robotic hook, down the ramp and onto the competition field. Everyone watching knew what was at stake, no matter the experience level. Would the robot hang, suspended from the pull-up bar, or end the match in defeat?

Five robotics teams from Crozet are preparing to compete at UVA’s Slaughter Rec Center on Dec. 19th. Western Albemarle High School Robotics has three student led teams: Her Majesty’s Engineers, Loose Screws, and Geek Gods. These teams commit anywhere from six to ten hours per week building and programming their bots in anticipation of qualifying for advancement to the State competition. Joining the WAHS teams on the 19th are Henley’s Nerd Herd and Rogue Robotics, an independent Crozet team made up of students from Western and Albemarle High Schools.
The Crozet teams and their mentors invite you to come support FIRST robotics and our local student teams. Qualifier competition matches usually start around 11:00 with exciting elimination matches from about 3:30 to 5:30. Parking is available near Slaughter Rec Center.

I had intended to post this letter a couple weeks ago from the proposed Adelaide developer. Â Since then, the Cory Farm HOA have gotten together and written a letter outlining some of their concerns. Both are below.
So as to not bury the lede, the CCAC meeting where this development will be discussed is Wednesday, 16 December at the Crozet Library.
– Letter from the HOA to the CCAC of the adjacent neighborhood, Cory Farm.
Crozet is going to grow, folks. We are a growth area. How we grow is, in part, up to us. In part.
