September 14, 2023: Mitchell takes over as chair of the Charlottesville Planning Commission

However, there is no way to really study such perceptions in a scientific way, and scientific research into temporal practice is not the major focus of Charlottesville Community Engagement. I’m Sean Tubbs, glad to be at September 14, 2023  no matter how or when I got here. On today’s program: * A new chair of the Charlottesville Planning Commission takes over before the big public hearing on the Development Code* The city hires a firm to conduct a master plan for Parks and Recreation and there’s information about how many newly planted trees actually took root * Utility officials urge water conservation amid dry conditions * UVA submits a new plan to Albemarle County for the new energy plant at Fontaine Research This is a public episode.
