On February 21st, Albemarle's Board of Supervisors will decide whether to approve yet another housing development in Crozet before fundamental and long overdue infrastructure is in place to support it. 

The Montclair developers propose adding 122 more houses along Three Notch'd Road (240) further stressing Crozet's limited transportation infrastructure, especially at the highly dangerous intersection at Route 240/250.  

For decades, the citizens of Crozet have waited patiently for the County to make good on promises to build the vital Eastern Avenue Connector, revitalize the Downtown area, and provide basic public safety amenities such as sidewalks to Claudius Crozet Park. 

Meanwhile, Crozet's population quadrupled in size.   Just last year, the Supervisors approved proposals to build yet another 447 homes in Crozet, in addition to those still being built in existing developments like Old Trail.  Unfortunately, the worst is still yet to come.   

The proposed Montclair development now marks our tipping point:  we can no longer justify adding even more growth to Crozet while continuing to patiently wait for the infrastructure the County promised us.

It's time for both citizens and our Supervisors to come together and act decisively to prioritize the well-being and safety of our community.

Albemarle County's adopted Comprehensive Plan makes it abundantly clear:  Montclair should not be approved until planned infrastructure is in place to support Crozet's existing neighborhoods.   

Make your voice heard in three important ways:

1. sign this petition and forward it to your friends
2. tell your elected representatives that you've had enough growth without adequate infrastructure and to vote "No to the Montclair development"
3. make plans to attend the Board of Supervisors meeting at 6:00pm Wednesday, 2/21/24 at the County Office Building at 401 McIntyre Road where the Montclair proposal will be discussed and voted on
