February 25, 2023: Albemarle Supervisors presented with $551.5M budget with no tax rate increases; UVA Foundation to add outdoor event space at Birdwood

Another rare Saturday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement is upon us, as there were too many distractions to complete the work on Friday. It is the hope to one day have each and every episode come out at a consistent time. Each installment of the program is a test of the orbital mechanics that would be required to attain that goal. I’m Sean Tubbs and I know again there is much in the universe to observe and I’m hoping to always expand the capacity to do so. On today’s edition: * A former member of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors has died* Charlottesville awards a contract to replace the Dairy Road Bridge * The 2023 session of the General Assembly is almost over and dozens of bills are heading to Governor Youngkin for signatures including legislation on green jobs, cloud computing, and innovative power* The University of Virginia Foundation plans to renovate the Birdwood Mansion and add space for outdoor events* Albemarle County Supervisors are presented with a $551.5 million budget for FY24Paid subscribers help cover the cost for free subscribers. One in four pay. I want both kinds to sign up so more get the information. This is a public episode.
