Question
What’s Happening Across from Brownsville Market in Old Trail? Is a question I have gotten so many times, I thought I’d answer it here. (I know I wrote about this years ago, but cannot find the story)

Worried about water and still continue to build?! When is enough enough?? Are we expecting a miracle water source?
Hmm… Bought into a growth area and now unhappy with your choice? OT always intended to build out to capacity. Simple common knowledge. WE have a water source.
And that’s the thing. Everywhere is Crozet is going to change. I’ve long told clients that:
– if you don’t own it, it’s going to change
– in Crozet, if you see greenspace, expect it to go away (and that sucks, but it’s legitimate)
