CharlAlbemarle’s water supply
Charlottesville Tomorrow has an excellent summary and podcast about last night's Public Outreach meeting held by the RWSA. That they are holding these meetings shows how far they have come since Tom Frederick took the helm. Bill Emory notes: RWSA has taken the community input…
New listing in Grayrock
I just put this beautiful home on the market in Crozet. I was competing against two other companies; it feels good to earn business! This wonderful home was a multiple winner in the 2004 Parade of Homes. Four bedrooms, front office, front and rear staircases,…
