Good morning and welcome to the July 27, 2024 edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. Today is the National Day of the Cowboy, something officially sanctioned by the General Assembly in 2015. Nothing in this edition pertains to that, but somehow this ended up in the show notes anyway.
In this edition:
Habitat for Humanity will make a counter-offer of at least $7 million to purchase the Carlton Mobile Home Park in Charlottesville
The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission agrees to pursue another round of funding for rural housing presentation
The Albemarle Planning Commission recommends approval of a rezoning for up to 165 units at 1193 Seminole Trail just north of the Charlottesville border
Elected bodies in both Albemarle and Charlottesville are briefed on changes to the budget process that funds nonprofit agencies who provide services to help humans in need
New legislation now allows some appointed bodies in Virginia to meet virtually more often
The TJDPC also receives additional funding from Virginia for broadband expansion
A local store that specializes in the creative reuse of art supplies joins a regional collective to promote the practice
Show notes for CCE-710A
If you listen carefully, this is the show that went out on WTJU this morning at 6 a.m. Ordinarily I would swap out the introduction, but I really want to take a break from audio production after yesterday. Sometimes this will happen.
This is the 19th edition of the podcast that has aired on WTJU and since that time I’ve made a lot of changes to my process. But this is not one of the days I want to write about it extensively as there’s other things I want to do today.
So, thanks for listening if you did, and if you didn’t, I recommend it. My career had an early start in public radio and I opted to go a different route and here we are.
Now it is time to get to work on the new set of stories!
