November 27, 2023: Stonefield owners file for rezoning amendment for potential Tesla sales center

Some might call this day Cyber Monday, and I will note that this publication is a creation of the Internet but one that resists that particular title. I’d rather point out that today is also Pins and Needles Day, marking a musical revue from the late 1930’s that I’d never heard of until writing this opening paragraph of the November 27 edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, I’m Sean Tubbs, and I’m glad to require myself to learn something new every single day. In this edition:* The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has expanded the number of counties under a drought watch advisory* The owners of Stonefield have filed for a rezoning application that could clear the way for a Tesla sales office * Several ideas to address safety issues on Route 151 in Nelson County are ready for review * Albemarle County is preparing for next year’s budget and the Board of Supervisors got a recent briefing on the five-year financial forecast  This is a public episode.
