March 3, 2023: UVA panel endorses design concept for new Biotechnology Institute, expanded Center for Politics; Albemarle to move forward with planning for a car-free Free Bridge Lane

This is the ninth Friday of 2023 leaving 43 left to go. What will happen on each of those days, as well as the other days that happen between? Perhaps there is too much to write down each day  and no way to capture it all. Perhaps the effort should be made anyway. After all, this is Charlottesville Community Engagement and I’m the host and producer, Sean Tubbs. On today’s string-of-beads: * A committee of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors approve concepts for the new Biotechnology Institute at Fontaine Research Park* Three members of the Board memorialize the late Ken Boyd * The UVA Sustainability Committee hands out leadership awards * Locally-produced podcast Stitch Please is up for a national podcast award* Albemarle Supervisors agree to proceed with a test of a car-free Free Bridge Lane This is a public episode.
