Crozet Is Growing!

Wonderful things are happening in Crozet, VA!

Harris Teeter is coming and Old Trail shopping will be here soon!

Due to so much growth in this part of Albemarle County, the Board of Supervisors appointed a Crozet Community Advisory Council, who meet monthly, to provide assistance to county staff and the board on issues related to the Crozet Master Plan.

Crozet deserves great things!
