Independent journalism that uncovers the stories shaping Crozet, from housing developments to environmental advocacy.
Crozet United is independent, community-rooted journalism for Crozet, Virginia. We cover the issues that actually shape life here: housing developments and growth pressures, environmental protection, affordable housing, and the decisions made by local government and county boards. We don't publish on a schedule. We publish when there's a story worth telling. Recent work includes documenting the Montclair development's burial of a stream, exposing Albemarle County's closed-door negotiations with a private developer over Project Heron — an unfeasible plan to build the Eastern Avenue Connector to serve a new residential development called Oak Bluff — and successfully advocating for a wildlife corridor along Lickinghole Creek. When something quiet but consequential is happening in Crozet, you'll read about it here.
