Should “limiting rural area development” be the top planning priority?

In June, the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission released a Community Priorities Questionnaire designed to measure what issues residents from Charlottesville and Albemarle County consider most important for the future development of the area.

 

According to those who responded to the survey, the No. 1 priority for residents of both the county and the city is limiting rural-area development.

 

Do you agree?
