CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Charlottesville is moving toward a new look for an historic community.
Charlottesville City Planners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the Starr Hill Vision Plan. The vote doesnât give any money, nor does it start construction - those things would come later. But the sign-off is the first step toward getting it into the cityâs Comprehensive Plan.
âWe will create a neighborhood identity rooted in African-American presence and prosperity with real opportunities for the Black community to foster ownership of property, commerce, and culture,â said Yolunda Harrell of the New Hill Development Corporation.
