I was asked this question this morning while walking my daughter to Crozet Elementary – is there a day this year in Crozet that is considered “the day” for Trick or Treating? It’s a question that is being asked around the country , in many localities . So, I pose the question – Should we trick or trick on Saturday or Sunday in Crozet?
Crozet Music Fest Hope you all had a good time a few weeks back, and hope you had a chance to enjoy Crozet Arts and Crafts and The Festy Experience on Columbus Day weekend, what incredible events. As the festival season winds to a close, we are putting on our thinking caps and making big plans for next year. We can already say for sure that we are going to start doing our thing twice a year, the first Spring CMF will be the weekend of April 29, 30, and May 1. Lots of plans in the works to get the multi-site model under way, there is SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC around here, we need more venues to put it on display.

The language in the Revised Master Plan reads as follows: ” Neighborhood serving retail/commercial areas and office uses of less than 5,000 square feet may be allowed by exception only in Neighborhood Density Residential areas located within half a block of Downtown along Blue Ridge Avenue and east of Firehouse Lane.” … The Chairman of the CCAC, owns property to the west of the Crozet Downtown District with an assessed value of $2.397 MILLION dollars and a member of the Albemarle Planning Commission owns property on Blue Ridge Avenue assessed at $461,800.00, yet not once during review of the Crozet Master Plan and/or at any meeting did either one of these?
