Our Town

Transportation Funding Cut The County’s draft budget recommends reducing its planned FY25 investment in transportation infrastructure by $6M to partially offset cost overruns related to the new Judicial Building ($6M), Albemarle High School’s Center 2 ($6M), Southern Elementary ($5M) and other capital projects ($2M).

If approved, there will only be $5M available for new transportation infrastructure projects in FY25 - across the entire County - while the Crozet Master Plan requires an additional $100M+ in new (but long overdue) local transportation investments to accommodate our growth.

New Affordable Housing Fund? As reported by Charlottesville Tomorrow, Supervisor Ann Mallek voiced support for investing $10M a year in a new fund dedicated to affordable housing, in addition to the County’s existing density incentives for developers to build affordable units.

Town Hall Supervisor Mallek is hosting a Crozet Town Hall to review the County’s budget and transportation priorities this evening (Wednesday, April 10th) at Brownsville Elementary starting at 7:00PM.
