Lots of plans on how to organize this big event for Crozet.  Food, entertainment and stupendous fireworks.  Parade is still in its usual location and route.  Find more details in the Crozet Gazette.
• Hanging Baskets. Muff Biber and Tim Tolson met with Lance Stewart, Albemarle County Director of Facilities and Environmental Services in middle of February.  Muff is working on a proposal for the County’s approval and the County is working on their terms and conditions. A concern was expressed about watering the plants.   Details are not complete, but Tim said at the last CCA meeting that it was one of the considerations.

New Business:

The Green Olive Tree needs a new location. Please help them find a new location as they have helped the Crozet community for decades and over $1,000,000!  The March issue of the Crozet Gazette has an article:  https://www.crozetgazette.com/2024/03/08/mixed-use-three-notchd-center-coming-to-rt-240/.    Please help this special recycle center in Crozet until their permanent location is found
