  • I fear and sense that the CCAC is attempting to micromanage the redevelopment of the former Barnes Lumberyard. They’ve expressed their opinions – many, many times. Let’s give the developers time to present something.
  • I’m curious to hear the mission statement clarification discussion.

The Next Phase of Old Trail Begins

If you haven’t driven through Old Trail recently, you might be surprised.

Update from Dave Brockman at Old Trail:

Thanks for reaching out to me. The activity has certainly created a lot of excitement.  What I can share is that the work being conducted to the west is primarily to support our new residential lot sales, which required a significant amount of earthwork. However, we continue to have very meaningful dialog with several interested commercial development partners and felt confident enough to use this opportunity to start making preparation for further expansion along Old Trail Drive. Old Trail’s success of the last few years has given us the ability to be more efficient in our work towards the future.

If you’re curious, these are the homes that are for sale right now in Old Trail.

 

December 2014 Crozet Gazette is Out

December 2014 Crozet Gazette

– Trailside Coffee becomes Grit Café. What Marcia and her team did at Trailside cannot and should not be understated; thank you. My opinion: this is a transition from really good people to really good people. As such, we all benefit. (more insight at C-Ville)

– Crozet Chosen for Renewable Energy Academy.

– Milestone Partners is moving forward to purchase the former Barnes Lumberyard. I think this is good for us all; a less-rushed process provides an opportunity for (hopefully) less polarizing conversations.

Downtown Crozet’s improvemements are celebrated.  (Now … about repaving all the roads … )
