The year of business has truly begun with a full week. As always, Tuesday seems to be that day when the air is ripe for a government meeting. And this week has a lot of interesting events.
Greene County
PEC serves as an asset to citizens in Greene who seek to protect this traditionally agricultural community from increasingly rapid development.
Achieving Conservation Wins Together
As our 50th anniversary year comes to a close, we are taking stock in the effects of our collective efforts over the last half century toward meaningful conservation and better communities in Virginia’s Piedmont. We are ever grateful to our generous and committed supporters and members who’ve made it all possible, as well as our many partners and dedicated staff. As we head toward the close of 2022, we invite you to look back at a few highlights of our work together this past year.
Week Ahead for December 19, 2022: Two site plans being held in Charlottesville; Greene Planning Commission to review Ruckersville plan
This is the penultimate week of the year and perhaps the last edition of this newsletter for 2022. The holidays are with us and many will be taking some time off. That’s certainly the case for government meetings with many December ones having already happened.
On the Ground Updates – December 2022
A series of short updates from around the PEC region – Albemarle & Charlottesville, Clarke, Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Loudoun, Madison, Orange & Rappahannock.
Week Ahead for December 12, 2022: Albemarle and Charlottesville Planning Commissions will each get updates on new zoning codes; Public hearing for Woodridge Solar in Albemarle
The holidays are here, but the work of local and regional government for the year is not done. This week is the last full one of 2022, and this week I wrote a very full edition.
Week Ahead for December 5, 2022: Rogers to announce new Charlottesville police chief; Albemarle Supervisors to talk capital budget with School Board
The first full week of December is a full one with perhaps twice the meetings that would usually be listed. So many changes occur with the holiday calendar, and I’m trying to prepare for the rest of the year and to get ready for what I suspect will be a very busy 2023.

Week Ahead for November 28, 2022: Greystar returns to Albemarle PC with 525-unit Old Ivy Residences; Charlottesville holding forum with police chief candidates
Time is running out on 2022 as regular schedules continue to be more difficult as the calendar comes closer and closer to the last minute of December 31. What kind of a week will this one be? This is always a good question and let’s explore it together.

Week Ahead for November 14, 2022: Fluvanna wants to know the cost of providing government services; Albemarle to learn of climate risks
We’re in the last stretch of 2022, a year that has been filled with lots of action at local government meetings. We are definitely moving closer to holiday mode with meetings shifting to avoid Thanksgiving. For instance, the Rivanna authorities meet this week instead of the fourth of the month.
