Local Residents Voice Opinion on Comprehensive Plan
June 23, 2006 |
The residents of an area of Albemarle known as the Village of Rivanna have submitted an amendment to Albemarle’s Comprehensive Plan. You can read a Dialy Progress article on the issue.
The chief issue at hand is the proposed development that would be next to the current location of Glenmore. The proposed Rivanna Village development would be 88-acres. Of course, there are many in the area that feel such development, especially any substantial commercial development, would create a regional attraction to the area, rather than a local one. If there must be development, many feel that such development should serve local residents, not attract others from around the region.
While I sympathize with their sentiments, the fact of the matter is that Rivanna Village is surrounded by very rural countryside. Any type of commercial development is going to attract not only local residents, but people from nearby Fluvanna and Louisa. The only issue would be how many people would it attract.
This issue is far from over, and I will continue to keep you updated on any developments.
