October 14, 2023: Public hearing set for UVA Foundation's rezoning request for up to 1,400 homes at North Fork Discovery Park

Be bald, and be free! That’s the slogan for one of the supposed holidays for October 14, and I hesitate to even mention it at all except to say I represent. I’ve always thought of pawns as bald, and this is National Chess Day as well. Supposedly it’s also National I Love You Day, but rest assured that Charlottesville Community Engagement has that sentiment every day with a sunrise and a sunset. I’m Sean Tubbs. In this edition:* A Charlottesville man was killed by gunfire early this morning in the 200 block of East Market Street* Charlottesville has announced that the opening of an overnight shelter on October 21 will coincide with a restoration of closing times in Market St. Park * A public hearing date has been set for University of Virginia Foundation’s request to rezone part of the North Fork Discovery Park to include up to 1,400 residential units* Snippets from two candidate forums for the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors This is a public episode.
