The Charlottesville Area is More than Charlottesville and Albemarle

September 17, 2007

This is me in the latest edition of Abode in the C-Ville Weekly.  The purpose of the article was to expose people to the idea of looking at real estate in the more rural areas that surround Charlottesville and Albemarle as potentially better long-term investments. Most of the attention in our area has always been [...]

Zion Crossroads Providing Much Needed Commercial Development

July 18, 2007

Anyone who lives east of the Charlottesville/Albemarle area, knows all too well the drive into Charlottesville. For decades, residents of Fluvanna and Louisa especially, have made the drive into Charlottesville for dining, shopping, recreation, etc. That may soon be changing. Zion X Roads (the area where Rt. 250, Rt. 15 and I-64 intersect) is quickly [...]

Do You Want Richmond in Your Backyard?

September 1, 2006

Watching the local news last night, I came across this story.  It would appear that our legislators in Richmond now find it necessary to dabble in the planning of counties and cities throughout the Commonwealth.  You can read the law, as it will be enforced, here.

July 21, 2006

Time for Friday’s Big Question . . . Perhaps the most interesting post I made this week was about how Charlottesville is no longer listed in Money Magazine’s 100 Best Places to Live.  About 2 months ago, the cover article in The Hook posed the question– Has Charlottesville Jumped the Shark?  My question for you [...]

Monday’s Big Answer to Development Question

July 17, 2006

Well, after the 2nd edition of Friday’s Big Question, there was a 100% increase in the number of responses.  Albeit, that meant that there was only 1 response (thank you Bryan), but we have got to start somewhere, right?  At any rate, I encourage all of you to not only read the blog, but to [...]

June 13, 2006

The Daily Progress recently published a story on the approval of a James River pipeline in Fluvanna.  The pipline would service Fluvanna and Louisa counties by bringing water from the James, through Fluvanna, and up to Zion X Roads.  Water is something that both counties are in desperate need of, if development at Zion X [...]

Water, Water Everywhere. . .

June 5, 2006

Fluvanna and Louisa counties have been working for quite some time on a possible water pipeline to bring water from the James River through Fluvanna to Palmyra and Zion X Roads.  This water is desperately needed in Fluvanna if there is to be any commercial development in the county.  Not to mention it is an [...]
