Y’all know what AC44 is right? Albemarle County is in the midst of Phase 2 — “Goals, Objectives, and ‘Planning Toolkits'” of the updating of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
From my perspective, Albemarle County have done an amazing job of outreach about the Comp Plan, and it’s incumbent upon us as citizens to participate, and to think generationally. Realistically, many if not most of those who are voicing opinions won’t be in Albemarle County is 20 or 30 years … think about those who come after us, and think about where and how our kids and grandkids will live (and if they’ll be able to afford living in Crozet).
Spend some time educating yourself, and taking the County’s survey (I have), before being “for” or “against” a part of the plan or process.
I suspect there will be a large audience Wednesday night; here’s hoping for open minds and conversation.
One thought: if the County and VDOT would build infrastructure along with housing, Crozet would be more livable, accessible, and would likely defeat the calls of people to stop change.

I am one who won’t be in AC in 2044.
As long as UVA and its spinoffs are here, AC will keep growing. As long as AC focuses density on 5% of its land, Crozet will grow apace. The sooner CCAC looks for the good in that future, the better for Crozet.
