Redevelopment

The Piedmont Development Group has submitted a application to Albemarle County's Department of Community Development to rezone the property from heavy industrial to Downtown Crozet District. That would allow for the lumberyard to be transformed into a mixed-use community with residences, stores and office space. [4]

As part of the 2010 revision of the Crozet Master Plan, there was preliminary discussion of the space redeveloping as a pedestrian mall for Crozet. [5]
