From WCAV – Albemarle Development On The Rise (archived: 2005)
“West of town is going to be a little more quaint although there will be development and there will be growth over here in the next ten to twenty years. However, you will not see the same kind of sprawl (as associated with the Route 29 corridor),” said Kauffmann.
I am not sure how one person can make this dramatic of a statement – Old Trail is going to have at least 1500-2000 units and there is going to be much more around it. With the apparent lack of planning for more infrastructure to accommodate the planned growth, who knows what Crozet is going to look like over the next 10 to 15 years? Crozet was quaint 15 years ago.
I posted this several months ago, but it was lost in the transfer
