Imagine Crozet: A Snapshot of Community Workshop #2

CROZET MASTER PLAN UPDATE

Tuesday, October 15th, 2019

Community Workshop #2 - A Snapshot

Our second community workshop continued to refine the Master Plan's Guiding Principles by:

beginning to define Crozet's "small town feel" including its architectural heritage and community,
identifying Crozet's important places and centers, and how they connect to their surrounding areas,
and developing a shared understanding of how to support opportunities for people of all socioeconomic backgrounds to live and work in Crozet.

Much appreciation to all that participated!

What We Did: Conversations and Activities

Small Town Feel

Participants were asked "How do we define Crozet's 'small town feel?'"

Some themes we heard: knowing your neighbors, a safe place for kids, a variety of building types, walkability, shared-use paths, formal spaces (proposed Downtown Plaza) and community event spaces (Claudius Crozet Park).

Working in Crozet

Participants were asked "What jobs and businesses would you like to see in Crozet?"

Some themes we heard: we'd like to see jobs that pay a living wage, are in the tech and "green" sectors, and provide workforce development

Living in Crozet

Participants were asked "Are there types of housing that are missing in Crozet?"

Some themes we heard: we'd like to see more of these housing types - bungalow courts, live/work, accessory dwelling units, and fourplexes.

Centers & Connectivity

Participants were asked "Where are the places you want to be? How do you get there?"
