Orange Approves Annandale Development
July 13, 2006 |
More residential development is coming to Orange County. Supervisors just approved a proposed 290-unit "Active Adult" community outside Gordonsville. You can read and watch video on the story from NBC29.
This story highlights the fact that real estate development is going to come to the Charlottesville area, like it or not. The fact of the matter is that the Charlottesville area is a very attractive place to live, and we can’t reasonably expect to keep people out. Not to mention, it is pretty unreasonable to expect Orange County Supervisors to turn down proffer payments that could total over $7M, not including the land it would receive for a public park and a new school.
I have to say that the people I feel sorry for in this whole situation are the people sitting on the Board of Supervisors. They are elected to do what they think will best benefit the residents of Orange County. This was a no-win situation for them, and only time will tell if the new subdivision will truly benefit Orange.
