In the early hours of the morning today, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved Biscuit Run unanimously by a vote of 6-0, the largest residential development in Albemarle County history, with 4,300 homes.
The Supervisors like the amount of green space and walking trails that are planned, as well as the "walkability" of the area, with shopping very close by. Also mass transit will be easily accessible.
I personally am very excited. This is the type of develepment that the county wants and needs. I am personally going to get more information on Biscuit Run, as it is something that I may move to. I like the idea of all the different types of housing that they are going to have.
