And the public speaks ...
Madison Town Council members said they had
never seen as many people crowd into the town office at one time as they did
Thursday night.
...Members of the Planning Commission tabled a plan to greatly increase the number of parking spaces in town and instead created a study committee.
...I don't know whether I agree with the public on this or not, but I certainly appreciate how they mobilized!

Madison is dealing with growth
“If people are not interested in land
conservation in Madison County, if they don’t believe development is
coming, this should serve as a wake-up call,” said Miller. Miller also
noted that the number of new housing permits issued by the county has been
rising steadily each year since
1991.
...“Most easements are done because people love their land and want to leave the legacy behind of open space,” said Miller, whose own land, near the Gaar Mountain area, is held in a conservancy easement.... No matter how you look at it, Madison is a gorgeous place to live and visit, and is even becoming a bit of a commuter community to Northern Virginia, if you can believe it!

As I tell my clients, as a Realtor, growth is usually good. There is great value in protecting the now-clichéd natural beauty of the region.

Madison's approach to growth
Madison is different from Charlottesville,
Greene. Louisa, Culpeper, basically all of its neighbors, and it's refreshing.
The area remains one of the most beautiful and pure parts of the region, and
this is deliberate. DP reports .
