Charlottesville Tomorrow Launches

Published by Waldo Jaquith on September 15, 2005 in Development and Transportation. 9 Comments

There’s a new organization devoted to the future of the region, Charlottesville Tomorrow, which describes themselves as:

[A] new non-partisan organization dedicated to informing public opinion and policy on land use, transportation, and community design issues to ensure sensible growth and to realize the best possible future for the Charlottesville-Albemarle area.

The group was announced at a press conference held today. They’ve got an all-star Board of Directors, a paid executive director, a pretty extensive website, and a blog, so they’ve certainly gotten a good start. Oddly, they’ve declared themselves to be neutral on the topic of growth, which is clearly the biggest issue facing the region — it’ll be interesting to watch them try to dance around the issue.
