Read the whole story at the Crozet Gazette . Barnes Lumber Redevelopment Plan in Crozet The plan submitted by PDG includes an 600-foot-long pedestrian mall in the center of the project, anchored at the west end by a large building. Roell said a national firm that builds boutique hotels is interested in the site. Other features include the extension of Library Avenue (still an unofficial name for the road partially constructed in downtown) to connect to Parkside Village and a walking path junction in the southeast corner of the property nearest to Claudius Crozet Park that will connect downtown to the extensive system of trails laid out in the Crozet Master Plan.
Tell Ann Mallek What’s on Your Mind
There’s lots going on in Crozet: – Redevelopment of Barnes’ property – Sidewalks on Jarman’s Gap – Walking to School bureaucracy – Property taxes – Overcrowding in Schools If you don’t tell our elected representatives what’s on your mind, rest assured that others, with whom you may not agree, are . From the Daily Progress : Albemarle County Police Chief Steve Sellers also plans to be a guest speaker at each of the meetings. Residents will be able to direct questions to both Mallek and Sellers about any topic. “White Hall district residents are encouraged to join in discussions about our community issues and how to fund our future needs,” Mallek said in a prepared statement.
Crozet Neighborhoods – How Would you Describe Yours?
I’m wondering – how do Crozetians describe their neighborhoods? If you’re interested, leave a description below.
What Businesses Does Crozet Need? (in 2011)
We discussed this in 2007 , but seeing as how someone came to RealCrozetVA the other day searching for “what businesses does Crozet need?” I figured we may have different needs now than we did then. We now have a Chinese restaurant, Trailside Coffee has ice cream, Harris Teeter, and quite a bit more. So, Crozetians, what do we need ?

Live Music Nearly 7 Days a Weeks at Fardowners
No, this isn’t an ad, just noticing that Fardowners is putting on quite a few live music nights in February. Where else in Crozet is there live music?
Old Trail + Assisted Living Facility
Huge thanks to the Crozet Gazette : Near it, on the east side of the village stores’ parking lot, will be a new 126-bed assisted living facility to be known as The Lodge at Old Trail. The facility will offer services ranging from basic to end-of-life care and memory care, all on a rental model. It is being built by David Hilliard, who has previously built and now operates two assisted living facilities in Vermont. The facility will have underground parking on its basement level, entered from behind the building, and that is being excavated now.
What are the Best CSAs in and around Crozet?
From a reader: I was checking out CSA listings at Local Harvest , and was disappointed by not many listings and many that *were* there were outdated! So if you know of ANY CSA (community supported agriculture) in the area (Charlottesville/Crozet/Central VA), no matter how small, please respond here and I will make a listing of them. Let’s support our local farmers – especially the ones just getting started! … Personally, I usually search at the Buy Fresh, Buy Local site , but would much prefer recommendations.
