September 26, 2023: A discussion of anti-displacement measures in Charlottesville; New design for UVA Center for Politics

Welcome to Johnny Appleseed Day. Or if that doesn’t take root in your mind, celebrate National Compliance Officer Day and think whether Mr. Appleseed’s work would be acceptable with 21st century agricultural practices. If you fail to have interest, ponder whether apples could be used in a commemoration of National Dumpling Day. If that’s all nonsense to you, perhaps this edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement is a way to mark Love Note Day. I’m Sean Tubbs, enamored as always of the details.  On today’s show:* Charlottesville City Council makes several appointments to Boards and Commissions but does not fill a vacancy on the Planning Commission * The city’s new building permit system is operational * The city will work with Albemarle County on a grant application for a transportation study for the U.S. 29 corridor* A subcommittee of the Board of Visitors weighs in on the design for the renovation of Center for Politics * The Charlottesville Planning Commission addressed anti-displacement solutions at a two-hour deliberation on September 19 This is a public episode.
