TDRs receive in-depth discussion by local leaders

Reader comments (2)

On January 18, 2007, Advocates for a Sustainable Albemarle Population (ASAP), held their monthly meeting at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville.  The topic was Albemarle County's consideration of a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program as a growth management tool. 

Charlottesville Tomorrow has prepared a written transcript of this very informative panel discussion on TDRs.

The panel members included Supervisor David Slutzky of the Rio District, Supervisor Dennis Rooker of the Jack Jouett District, Rich Collins, Professor Emeritus in Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia, and Jeff Werner, Field Officer with the Piedmont Environmental Council. About 35 members of the public were in attendance for the forum moderated by ASAP President, Jack Marshall.
