E. Crozet Historic District: Mike reported that Laura P.is still interested in

working to submit the Historic District application. Jennifer did the surveyand first report. He thinks it'll cost up to $2,000 for Laura P. to do work andthat the funding for it should come from the community. Greenwood has

 just been officially recognized as a Historic District. There are no additional property restrictions that come with being a historic district and many tax benefits.

Alliance and the pushback of neighbors to the affordable housing plan.
