Charlottesville Community Engagement for August 19, 2020 - a thread experiment!

Today's Charlottesville Community Engagement newscast is posted.

* UVA law begins classes today
* Algae bloom at Lake Anna
* Albemarle EDA has new officers
@piedmontenviron and LEAP host Solarize Piedmont
* Albemarle rezoning moves forward (bit.ly/3gc0yhp)

Today in the @HealthyTJHD there are another 14 cases reported, and the number of deaths was reduced to 43 from 44. I have a question out about that.

Positive test rate in the district is at 6.4 percent again today.


Classes begin today at @UVALaw and I used bits of a video in today's newscast. You can more information on this here. (at.virginia.edu/34g0Kd8) 

The General Assembly special session is underway. If you want to keep watch any of it, consult this list of meeting times on the legislature's website. (bit.ly/2Q3xnT1) 

The @vdh has also issued Harmful Algae Bloom advisory for tributaries of Lake Anna. Learn more in this release.

I suspect this map may be outdated and I will ask a question. (bit.ly/2FHyAO9)

The Albemarle Economic Development Authority now has new officers following the resignation of the last ones in July.

The Albemarle Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning on Old Lynchburg Road. The Albemarle Business Campus goes to Board of Supervisors

The Albemarle Board of Supervisors meets today at 2 p.m. Among items on the agenda is consideration of a roundabout at intersection of John Warner Parkway and Rio Road East.

Full agenda is here. (bit.ly/2El7YBv)

Today's newscast/newsletter continues with a couple of soundbites from a session @piedmontenviron and the Local Energy Alliance Program held yesterday on their Solarize Piedmont program. Take a look at that here. (bit.ly/2Q59bzx) Finally, some corrections.

Today's script contains an error. UVA in-person classes begin the day after Labor Day and not what is in the newscast.

Second, cost share for RMR SFRR pipeline is 80/20 split between Albemarle and Charlottesville. (bit.ly/31aOZ5J) 

I conclude this thread with a link to my Patreon account, which is my initial way of funding this new venture. The goal right now is to get info out every day, grow the audience. There are perks!

I will add merch, but goodness, I'm no graphic designer! (bit.ly/2XbFgtu)

Reordering things for better stacking

I changed the style of the blog again to make it easier to read. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but when I'm no longer...
