Charlottesville“Our Town Charlottesville,” a series of town hall style meetings in all of Charlottesville’s neighborhoods, will begin for 2016/2017 on Thursday with a meeting for the Fifeville, Starr Hill and 10th & Page neighborhoods from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm at Buford Middle School, 1000 Cherry Avenue.

These meetings are part of a series of community conversations that began in 2010 by a council initiative. City residents are encouraged to attend these informal meetings to discuss emerging issues, ask questions or share concerns with City Council and staff about their neighborhoods or the City at large.

The entire community is welcome to attend any meeting, but issues related to the neighborhoods specified for a given evening will have priority.

Dinner and childcare will be provided.

As they are scheduled, meetings will be posted online at www.charlottesville.org/ourtown.
