What should become of the Old Crozet Library

Here's the background Jim provides:

The Albemarle County Police want to spend $350k to renovate the library/depot.

The Crozet Gazette have an extensive story this month and Ryan at the Newsplex did a story on 9/10 and J. Reynolds Hutchins at the Daily Progress had a nice story as well.

There’s a good discussion the RealCrozetVA Facebook page (comments embedded after the jump here).

I just wanted to let everyone know that our detectives have arrested two men for the burglaries and vehicle break-ins that had occurred in our neighborhoods over the past several months. They have admitted and have been charged with a few cases for now. There will be more charges to follow. This gives us the ability to get them charged and hold them at the jail until they can be charged with more incidents.
