If you’re interested in hearing/seeing about the Claudius Place design and concept, come to the Crozet Community Advisory Council meeting this Thursday. In the meantime, read about it at Charlottesville Tomorrow .
With the new Crozet Library stalled for lack of funding, it appears a new commercial building will be the cornerstone of a major expansion of downtown Crozet.
A year ago I wrote about how the Crozet Office & Supply store saved me a trip to Charlottesville . Now they’ve expanded and moved a little bit closer to the Great Valu.
And they’re now a FedEx shipping location!
Check them out, support a local business and save gas by not driving to Charlottesville!

Check out this vacation mowing service in Crozet, courtesy of Sean Connolly , a graduating senior at WAHS. Sean contacted me and he strikes me as a quality, enterprising young man who has something that many people – young or not – lack: a work ethic and a willingness to do something that is seemingly anathema to so many: WORK. So, if you need some vacation mowing or work done around the house, give him a call. … Yes, this is sort of an ad, but no, I’m not getting paid to run it.
From the Newsplex :
However, it’s coming up with the remainder of the nearly $7 million price tag that’s put construction of the library on hold. The Crozet Library Steering Committee was informed last year that the project could be postponed until 2015 if the money cannot be raised.
… Of course, if you’d been paying attention last month, you would have known this . 🙂 ( full post here from the CCAC meeting ) ** If anyone out there is interested in live-tweeting any Crozet meetings, please let me know.
Park your car on the far side of the field, bring some shade, and cool off with a bottle of your favorite King Family wine. The tasting room opens at 11:00 a.m., and the golf cart will return for its second season of circling the field with cold wine ready to buy. … We’re glad to be introducing some new additions that will make the Roseland Polo experience even more fun. … We have a feeling you’ll also be glad to find out that two brand new portable toilets will live behind the score board to save you from the long trek back to the tasting room.
Charlottesville Tomorrow has an outstanding timeline of the Re Store ‘N Station .
