Podcast for August 30, 2025: City Council to take up camping and storage ban; Virginia Senate panel fails to confirm four appointees to UVA Board of Visitors

There are perhaps more than two ways to experience Charlottesville Community Engagement, but the audio edition is one of the ones that I know about. I’m Sean Tubbs, a journalist who got his professional start as an intern at a public radio station in Roanoke thirty years ago. Before that I spent a couple of years at a student newspaper at Virginia Tech. Somehow all of that led to this time in 2025 when I’m able to produce radio and print stories for an audience that pays me to do the work. Thank you and here’s what’s coming up in this edition.

  • Case against Charlottesville’s zoning to proceed to trial after Judge Worrell changes position on default (learn more)

  • A round up of other stories not quite yet ready for a full story (see below for the briefs)

  • Albemarle Supervisors are briefed on strategic plan report (learn more)

  • On September 5, groups will mark the 75th anniversary of federal ruling that allowed a Black man to attend UVA law (learn more)

  • Albemarle Supervisors approve special use permit for private school on Dudley Mountain Road (learn more)
