December 22, 2025 has arrived and so has this sonic edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. Many of the longer versions of stories are produced as if they are going to air on the radio, and for this edition two have already done so! The other two have not, but will be among the stories that may be chosen for the December 27 edition that will air on WTJU at 6 a.m. Between now and then the goal is to spend the holiday period combing through a backlog of potential topics. I’m Sean Tubbs, and I’m glad that this is what I do.
In this edition:
- Charlottesville Planning Commission seeks some changes to city’s five year CIP (read the story)
- Charlottesville ends use of Flock system (read the story)
- Charlottesville transitions parking garages to AI-powered access management (read the story)
- The Albemarle Planning Commission takes a look at a new tool to be used to measure how the county’s growth area land is being used (read the story)
Not quite in this edition but recently written all the same:
- Board of Visitors names Darden Dean as next UVA president
- Charlottesville City Council makes appointments (link to Substack)
- Rezoning sought for between 22 and 110 more units in Hollymead in Albemarle
Charlottesville Community Enagement is an extension of what this website was intended to do. It is a product of Town Crier Productions and I’m cross-posting it here as a way of trying to rethink what this website could do.
