Is Project Heron over?

Dear Crozet United reader,

We know that today’s Project Heron update might feel a little dense.  It is jam packed with new information along with some background on the policies that govern the County’s public-private partnerships. 

For those policy wonks out there, enjoy.  For those of you that just want the bullet points, here they are:

• Project Heron documents are being destroyed by Albemarle County

• “Election pressure” may have factored into County staff’s work on Project Heron

• Supervisor Mallek worked with Riverbend Development and a private landowner to realign the Eastern Avenue bridge for over a decade

• Evidence of a potential quid pro quo continues to mount

• Albemarle County is already out of compliance with the public-private partnership guidelines its Board adopted on March 20th

• At this time, Supervisor Mallek is not aware of any active proposals for a public-private partnership to build the Eastern Avenue Connector

Given these new revelations, we believe it’s time for the Board of Supervisors to conduct a thorough external audit of Albemarle County’s Community Development function with an independent third party mutually agreeable to, and in full cooperation with, Crozet citizens.

We hope you’ll agree that it is worth taking the time to read this issue and draw your own conclusions.

Sincerely,

Your Publishers:  Eric Schmitz, Brad Rykal, and Jeff Stone
