This from Charlottesville Community Engagement is an absolute must-read, from start to finish. Read it, and ask questions. It’s long, as it needs to be.
A single-story edition of the newsletter on an important topic: How do things get built to support growth?

In today’s installment:
- A group associated with an unsuccessful political campaign in Albemarle County has launched a newsletter
- One article they wrote this week claims Albemarle is working to create a public-private partnership to complete a key piece of transportation infrastructure
- Albemarle County confirms this is happening and points to the recent adoption of guidelines by the Board of Supervisors to govern such partnerships
- The project is not related to economic development, though Albemarle has a recent history of giving names to projects in negotiation”
If Eastern Connector gets built, great — it’s been planned for *decades.* Things take time, and it should have been built long ago.
One question that Sean rightfully raises — who are the people behind Crozet United?
It’s all going to change, and while we love the Crozet Trails, it would be fantastic to have the promised road. Maybe they will build the road with protected bike lanes and sidewalks, to really build for the future.
I don’t think that it is a group but a single individual trying to manipulate. Creating a copycat website is simply a weak move.
A person with an original thought is worth more than 100 of them and would get my vote…
It’s definitely a group, albeit likely a small one.
