Of late, GST sleuths have come knocking on the doors of real estate and construction companies, tech service providers, foreign airlines, insurance companies and many other conglomerates. Corporate India has cried foul and labelled this an exercise in tax terrorism. Despite being 7 years old, why is the CBIC ramping up tax demands on companies across sectors? What's leading to the dissonance between companies and the taxmen? Are the dockets of the GST appellate tribunal about to overflow?

IT services major Infosys has been slapped with a pre-show cause notice from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) for alleged tax dues of over ₹32,000 crores, the biggest ever such number for an Indian IT company. Infosys has cited a recent circular from the CBIC to say the services received from its overseas branches are not taxable. Why would the DGGI send the notice? What is Infosys' response? And what impact could this have on the company and the broader IT industry?

An important conference is to take place tomorrow in New Delhi on India's international role with respect to technologies that are considered dual use, meaning for civilian and industrial use, but also for defence and military applications. India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Department of Commerce in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and other Government Agencies is organising the National Conference on Strategic Trade Controls (NCSTC), tomorrow at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi, the nation's capital. The conference will focus on India's Strategic Trade Control related to SCOMET and export controls system and international best practices on export of dual-use (meaning industrial and military) goods, software and technologies, according to a government statement circulated by the Press Information Bureau yesterday. SCOMET stands for Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies. Registrations for the conference have been invited by DGFT through its website. International speakers including the Chair of 1540 Committee of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the Chair of Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), senior government officials including the Commerce Secretary, Member (Customs) of CBIC, Director General of DGFT, and others would be participating. DGFT expects that more than 500 industry representatives will attend the conference. The thematic sessions planned during the day-long conference will focus on various aspects of India's Strategic Trade Control system, including the legal and regulatory framework, the steps taken to streamline the SCOMET policy and licensing processes, the enforcement mechanism and supply chain compliance programs. India published its first Scomet list as part of its Foreign Trade Development and Regulation Act of 1992. In 2010, the Act was amended to add a new chapter, including a section that deals with controls on exports of specified goods, services and technologies – giving the central government the power to monitor and amend the list of such goods, services and technologies. Currently the list includes goods, services and tech under nine categories, ranging from nuclear technologies to aviation and aerospace to electronics to chemicals and biotech.

Presidente da Câmara Brasileira Da Indústria Da Construção (Cbic), José Carlos Martins - 27/06/23 by Rádio Gaúcha
O Minha Casa Minha Vida, programa habitacional do governo federal, amargou quedas expressivas no primeiro trimestre de 2023 em relação ao mesmo período de 2022 e perdeu participação de mercado. De acordo com dados da Câmara Brasileira da Indústria da Construção (CBIC), divulgados nesta segunda-feira (29), 16,8 mil unidades foram lançadas no período — queda de 41,8% em relação ao mesmo período do ano passado. As vendas recuaram 37,1%. Segundo a CBIC, 24,8 mil foram negociadas. Em fevereiro, o presidente Lula assinou a medida provisória (MP) que retomou o programa habitacional. A promessa era que obras paradas fossem retomadas e que novos lançamentos fosses realizados.

For five decades, APIC has been a leading voice in the area of infection prevention and control. Listen as 2022 APIC President, Linda Dickey, and 1994 president and decades-long pioneering member, Barbara Russell, speak on the progression from the early days of infection prevention and control to the current-day focus on patient safety culture. What can we learn from the path already travelled and where will it lead? Hosted by: Silvia Quevedo, CAE About our Guests: Linda Dickey, RN, MPH, CIC, CPHQ, FAPIC, Sr. Director, Epidemiology & Infection Prevention Linda Dickey is Sr. Director, Epidemiology & Infection Prevention at UCI Health and 2022 President-elect for APIC. Linda's background includes serving on the Facilities Guidelines Institute (FGI) committee to develop design criteria for health care facilities. She has also taught for over 15 years for the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) in courses related to healthcare design, construction and water management and has served on the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 188 committee to establish the standard for Legionella management. Linda's clinical experience is in adult critical care and over 25 years of experience in epidemiology & infection prevention and quality, patient safety. She earned a nursing degree from the University of South Carolina and her Master in Public Health degree from the University of South Florida. Barbara S. Russell, MPH, BSHSA, RN, CIC, FAPIC After retiring from Baptist Hospital of Miami, Barbara still wanted to be active and involved in her passion, Infection Prevention. In early 2020, Barbara was contacted by the Florida Hospital Association (FHA), who were working with the State of Florida Department of Health, to contract with certified Infection Preventionists to help assess and assist LTC's with preventing and controlling COVID-19 in residents and staff. Barbara was assigned to Region 7 which encompasses Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe Counties, the epicenter of COVID in Florida, especially in their long-term care facilities. In January 2021, Barbara became a full-time employee with the Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) Team of the Florida Department of Health. Visits included walking rounds to assess infection control practices, providing education and training for staff and residents, review and development of specific related policies and procedures, assisting in acquiring needed supplies and in some cases how to set up a COVID unit within their facility – to care for cases in residents who do not require hospitalization. As the COVID pandemic slows down our team is visiting facilities regarding other HAI's. During Barbara's extensive career, she has served in many leadership roles in Infection Prevention and Nursing organizations. Including, but not limited to, President of APIC and CBIC. She has been fortunate to be the recipient of many awards including the Carol DeMille and APIC President Awards.

Programa habitacional teve queda de 25% nos lançamentos de unidades em 2022 em comparação a 2021. A CBIC diz que os números negativos são afetados por três fatores predominantes: aumento dos preços e dos custos dos materiais da construção civil; falta de confiança para novos lançamentos dos empresários e incorporadoras; e queda do poder aquisitivo das famílias.

Brandon Jarvis writes for the Virginia Political Newsletter that one Democratic member of the House is seeking a new leadership vote before that work gets underway, with him at the top. (read the story for more details)Delegate Don Scott (D-80) sent a letter yesterday to members of the House Democratic Caucus offering his resignation as its Vice-Chair for Outreach. He also claimed caucus by-laws require an election for his replacement before Wednesday’s veto session begins. He also invoked the by-laws to call for a leadership vote. “I therefore call for a vote for the Leader, Caucus Chair, and if a replacement is appointed, Vice-Chair for Outreach,” Scott wrote.The current minority leader is Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn (D-41), who had served as speaker when the Democrats had a ten seat majority from 2020 to 2021. The current caucus chair is Delegate Charniele Herring (D-46). Republicans now have 52 seats to the Democrats’ 48 and Scott nominated himself as the new Leader with Delegate Sally Hudson (D-57) as Caucus Chair. Brandon Jarvis reports that the vote will be a secret ballot, and 25 votes are needed for a slate to be elected. Process underway to reevaluate name of Greer Elementary SchoolAlbemarle County Public Schools continues their review of existing schools this week to see if their current namesakes are appropriate for the third decade of the 21st Century. On Tuesday, a committee to review the name of Mary Carr Greer Elementary School will begin their work at a 3 p.m. organizational meeting, but the public is not allowed. Twelve people have been selected to see if the name is consistent with the county’s naming policy. This includes Principal Steve Saunders as well as guidance counselor Susie Lee. As with other schools that have gone through this process, the committee will develop a community survey to solicit suggestions for a school name. Two public meetings will be held as well. “Members of the community and the committee can recommend either a new name be chosen for the school or the retention of its current name,” reads a notice on the county’s website. “If the advisory committee selects the current school name as one of its three finalists, the policy requires the committee to examine if Mary Carr Greer, for whom the school is named, made contributions to the community of state, national or world-wide significance.” According to the Ivy Creek Foundation, Mary Carr Greer lived from 1884 to 1973 and was the eldest daughter of Hugh Carr. She attended Union Ridge Graded School, a school for Black students established after Emancipation. Greer would become a teacher and joined the faculty at the Albemarle Training School before becoming its principal in 1931. She retired from education in 1950. The elementary school that carries her name opened in 1979 off of Lambs Lane. So far, the names of Broadus Wood Elementary and Virginia L. Murray Elementary School have been retained. Paul Cale Elementary was renamed Mountain View, Mortimer Sutherland Elemawas renamed Lakeside Elementary, and Murray High School is now the Community Lab School. Jack Jouett Middle School will become Journey Middle School on July 1. Village of Rivanna CAC members resign en masseAll but two members of one of Albemarle’s growth area advisory committees have resigned. The county’s website shows eight vacancies on the Village of Rivanna Community Advisory Committee (VORCAC). That group is charged with making recommendations and providing guidance to the Board of Supervisors on land use items within the scope of the Village of Rivanna Master Plan. However, in an April 19 post on their Substack newsletter, members cited staff interference in their efforts to provide education efforts about the master plan. “Supervisor [Donna] Price is concerned that our review of the Master Plan update is taking too much staff time,” they wrote. “It is our opinion that more time is needed to create a working plan that can be used as intended.”The group last met in March, but an April 11 meeting was canceled. The post concludes with an email Price sent to former VORCAC Chair Dennis Odinov explaining that the ongoing review of the Comprehensive Plan takes precedence over other planning activities which are requiring staff time. Price is the Board of Supervisors’ liaison to VORCAC. “There are no active development applications ready for discussion at the VORCAC, and consistent with Staff recommendation from [Planning Director] Charles Rapp on March 1st, there is no necessity for holding a VORCAC meeting this month,” Price wrote on April 5. Many of the VORCAC members have insisted loudly for many years that the plan allows for no more than one housing unit per acre. Last October, they successfully held the Board of Supervisors to that interpretation of the vision with Southern Development’s Breezy Hill development. The company had sought to build many more units than the maximum of 80 approved by Supervisors. Joe Fore is a member of the Crozet Community Advisory Committee who addressed the Board of Supervisors last week about the issue. He spoke as a community member and not in an official capacity as the Crozet group’s new chair. “To the extent that this portends the Board’s treatment of all CAC’s, it is troubling,” Fore said. “The notion that CAC’s would be prevented from meeting or even setting their own agendas even in months where there are no pressing issues from county staff is a dramatic departure of how these committees have operated.” Fore said county staff have used the pandemic to assert more control over the groups. Questions sent this morning the Office of Communications and Public Engagement were not returned in time for this newsletter, but I will continue to follow-up. There is a precedent for Supervisors putting limitations on CACs and making other changes. In December 2014, Supervisors voted to suspend the Places29 CAC and split it into three different groups at the request of former Supervisor Brad Sheffield.

Supervisors had previously agreed to the partnership in 2019. The original agreement required the county to pay $1.6 million toward the plaza and to provide the equivalement amount in tax rebates through a synthetic tax increment financing scheme. Doug Bates is on the board of the Downtown Crozet Initiative, a nonprofit group also working toward the effort. "For the last five years, we have engaged in an aspirational dream out in Crozet, hoping for a plaza," Bates said. "A couple years back that dream began to get some real teeth to it when you as a Board acted to develop an agreement between New Town Associates, DCI, and yourself, the county itself."Bates said the addendum to the agreement is necessary to help jumpstart the economic development efforts to complete the project."It's going to be your western outpost," Bates said. "A moment of real inspiration to watch the mountains and see children play. However, additional funding is required to help with cost overruns caused by inflation. The cost estimate for the first phase is now $7.88 million, higher than the $5.4 million originally anticipated. “The roads in particular which are of most significance with respect with what we’re asking the Board to consider in its investment as a part of this package today,” said Doug Walker, the deputy county executive. (review Walker’s presentation)Walker said the project would not happen without the public-private partnership. “It provides public contribution to provide for public benefit including the developer’s contribution of his money in order to match [Virginia Department of Transportation] revenue-sharing money,” Walker said. Walker said the closest equivalent to what the plaza hopes to be is the Charlottesville Downtown Mall. “In fact, that is a plaza owned by and managed by the city Parks and Recreation [Department],” Walker said. “You can see the essential connectivity it provides to that business corridor and the life that it brings into that area.” Walker said this project builds off of previous Albemarle investment into the Crozet Library which build a road connection to a future Library Avenue. It’s also interconnected with efforts to also transform what’s known as The Square. “The Square is that piece of road that runs from Crozet Avenue in front of Mudhouse, Fardowners, Parkway Pharmacy, and then ties into what would be Phase One of this project,” Walker said. “That also is a VDOT transportation revenue sharing project.” Staff suggested using $1 million from the American Rescue Plan Act and $1.5 million from the Economic Development Investment Pool. “This is an old industrial site being repurposed,” Walker said. “This is putting it back into constructive public and private use.” As part of the amended agreement, the developer will build public restrooms in the first phase. Another $50,000 will go to the Downtown Crozet Initiative for seed money for an executive director to program the new space. Supervisor Ned Gallaway wanted to know more about how that $50,000 would be used “How will the relationship between the county and that entity and then the responsibilities for each to manage the space and that position be formalized?” Gallaway asked. Lance Stewart, the county’s director of Facilities and Environmental Services, said a management agreement would be worked out. “I would expect a couple of work sessions with the Board in the future to make sure we are comfortable with the role that they would hold and the management responsibilities that they have,” Stewart said.Gallaway said he just wants to avoid a county employee being required to run the plaza. CBIC announces finalists for tech awardsAn organization that seeks to promote business and technology in the greater Charlottesville area has announced the finalists for its annual awards gala. The Central Business Innovation Council will hold their first in-person ceremony since 2019 on May 26 at Castle Hill Cider. “These awards serve as annual touchstones others can look to for inspiration and encouragement during their professional journeys,” said Tracey Greene. “These past two years have been challenging for many and we are delighted to recognize the perseverance, resilience, growth and creativity of these outstanding leaders, innovators, and organizations.”CBIC has been handing out these awards since 1998, but took last year off due to the pandemic.

Admittedly, it is quite difficult to get the hang of Thursdays, but many of us endeavor to try. April 14 is the 15th such day of the year, and this is the equivalent edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. Both the sonic version and its the textual counterpart seek to bring you to up to date on things you may not yet have known. I’m your host, Sean Tubbs. On today’s program:A Charlottesville minister has become the Democrat’s de facto candidate in the race for the 5th District seat in the U.S. House of RepresentativesMore documents have been filed in a lawsuit seeking to force a House of Delegates race this year Trees have come down on Garrett Street to make way for the redevelopment of Friendship Court Nelson County Board of Supervisors are asked to allow a mobile home park in the rural area to help provide more affordable housing opportunitiesFirst shout-out goes to the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority for e-waste collection dayIn today’s first subscriber supported public service announcement, the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority wants you to know about Electronic Waste Collection Day coming up on April 23, 2022.

Visit rivanna.org for more information.Throneburg becomes Democrat’s default nominee for 5th DistrictOnly one candidate in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District has correctly filed the paperwork required to be on the ballot for the June 21, 2022 statewide primary. That means Democrat Josh Throneburg will face the winner of the May 21 Republican convention in the general election.Neither Warren McClellan nor Andy Parker turned in enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, as Throneburg announced on Twitter on Tuesday. “We just received word a couple of hours ago that I am officially a Democratic nominee for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District.” Throneburg is an ordained minister and small business owner who lives in Charlottesville. He grew up in a small town in Illinois. The candidate raised $270,154 in 2021, according to data collected by the Virginia Public Access Project. Candidates seeking to be in the June 21 primary had until April 7 to turn in ballots to their party for verification. To get on the primary ballot, a candidate needed 1,000 registered voters in the district to sign a petition. A source in the Virginia Democratic Party confirmed a Washington Post report that Parker turned in 1,093 ballots, but only 937 of them were verified as valid. Democrats in all eleven of Virginia’s Congressional districts chose to hold a primary, whereas Republican Committees in only seven chose that route. The other four will hold a convention, including the 5th District. The Republican convention will be held in the Kirby Field House at Hampden-Sydney College. Incumbent Bob Good faces Charlottesville attorney Dan Moy (convention details).As of the end of 2021, Good had raised $518,278 and Moy reported no funds. The next set of campaign reports to the Federal Election Commission are due tomorrow. In his announcement, Throneburg said he believes he can win.“We currently have a Freshman incumbent who is deeply out of touch with the people in this district,” Throneburg said. This will be the first election under the new boundaries of the Fifth District, for which Albemarle County is the northern boundary. New documents filed in Goldman suit to force 2022 House of Delegates electionThe current plan is for the new legislative districts for the Virginia General Assembly to go into effect with next year’s state races, but a lawsuit seeking a race this year is still alive in the federal court. Richmond attorney Paul Goldman sued the Department of Elections last year alleging the results of the 2021 House of Delegates should only be certified for one year because otherwise they would be unconstitutional. In March, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals sent Richmond attorney Paul Goldman’s suit back to the Eastern District of Virginia to determine whether he has the standing to bring the case. On March 25, Goldman submitted a detailed statement that documents his potential candidacy for the 68th House District in 2022 as well as a potential bid for Lieutenant Governor. Paragraph 22 points out that he now lives within the 78th District. (Notice of Additional Facts Relevant to Standing)“The old 68th District no longer exists as a legal entity recognized under the Constitution of Virginia as pointed out by Article II, Section 6 [of the Virginia Constitution],’” reads paragraph 27.“Accordingly, Plaintiff has no representative in the General Assembly that is constitutionally required to represent his interests or been constitutionally selected to be his said representative,” reads paragraph 28. The Virginia Supreme Court finalized new legislative maps on December 28. On April 1, the Virginia Attorney General’s office filed a motion to dismiss the case once again for lack of standing. Goldman has until April 18 to respond and the defendants have until April 25 to make their reply. Trees come down on Garrett Street to make way for Friendship Court’s first phaseCrews removed several decades-old White Oak trees on Garrett Street this morning as part of a Piedmont Housing Alliance project to redevelop Friendship Court. The trees were removed as part of the first phase of the development, which got underway with a groundbreaking in January. Phase one is being constructed on a former open field. Piedmont Housing CEO Sunshine Mathon said the trees’ removal ended up being necessary due to complex topography involving a waterway that travels below the site.“We were not 100 percent sure until meeting with City staff to finalize sidewalk replacement, utilities, etc. along Garrett,” Mathon wrote in an email to Charlottesville Community Engagement this morning. Mathon said the removal of the trees is an example of a trade-off related to the need for new buildings to be set back from the street. Accommodating the channeled Pollocks Branch reduced the amount of buildable area. “The residents and the rest of the design team were balancing building footprints, number of total units, housing typologies (multifamily + townhomes), a new Community Center and Early Learning Center, ample amounts of open green space (including existing and new tree cover), parking needs, and interconnection with future phases,” Mathon continued. Mathon said the remaining phases should not have similar constraints related to Pollocks Branch and that more of the mature tree canopy in those sections could be preserved. Phase one is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. Mathon also said the wood from the trees will be used to make furniture and other products in the future. Second shout-out goes to CBIC for the WeFunder Pitch nightIn today’s second subscriber supported shout-out, the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council wants you to know about a unique event coming up on April 19 that aims to provide investment opportunities for regular people. CBIC is teaming up with WeFunder for live equity based financing for local start-ups who need capital. Recent changes in regulations allow for the event, where people can invest directly in these companies in exchange for early equity. The event will take place at 4:30 p.m. April 19 at the Irving Theater in the CODE building. Nelson County Supervisors consider Ridgecrest Mobile Home ParkThe Nelson County Board of Supervisors heard from the public Tuesday on a proposal to build a mobile home park near the Ridgecrest Baptist Church on U.S. 29 north of Lovingston. Civil engineer Justin Shimp needed a special use permit for the project. Shimp said he was pursuing the project to help provide more housing that can be affordable to households with lower incomes. “Five years ago, I would not have thought about this and didn’t think it would be needed because of affordability, but such are the increases in cost that achieving housing for folks who don’t make $100,000 a year is very difficult,” Shimp said. Shimp said mobile home parks can be a good way to provide housing at a lower cost.“One can buy a new mobile home so as little as $60,000 to pay to set it up,” Shimp said. “You could then rent a mobile home pad for around $400 a month. That is a much different sort of price point for folks than typical housing stock.”Shimp said under his arrangement, the people who would live there would own a share of the common areas and could sell those shares in the future. “I think this park investor opportunity will be a way for people who historically haven’t been able to set anchor somewhere would be able to buy in and take ownership of that and it will be good for the community,” Shimp said. The Planning Commission voted 4-1 in March on the proposal but set 33 conditions for Supervisors to consider in their review. Several neighbors of the proposed park spoke at the public hearing. One person wanted to know what Nelson County’s standards are for mobile homes and how wastewater would be handled. “Has there or will there ever be done a study on the effects of 51 additional homes on the water source?” asked Larry Shelton. Another person was concerned about the entrance off of U.S. 29. “You have to be very careful with any kind of proposals about how you’re going to get the trailers in there, how is this going to happen, how this is going to affect the residents that are there,” said Tonya Bradley. Another person was concerned that allowing 51 units in the rural area was not acceptable under the Comprehensive Plan. The debate got heated as South District Craig Barton peppered Shimp with questions about the cost of housing. Barton said he was skeptical the trailer park would work. “Have you thought about ways to figure out how to get it so people who live in this country can be able to afford a house?” Barton asked. “What could be done as a builder to help you build a house that a person will know will increase in value in his lifetime?” Shimp said there was little that the Nelson County Board of Supervisors could do. The conversation broke down as West District Supervisosr J. David Parr tried to establish order. Barton said he did not think it was likely that the trailers would increase in value. “The problems of housing are real and we need to deal with those problems,” Barton said. “Whether or not a mobile home will help in solving this problem, I don’t know. I think probably not.” Shimp said there was ample water on the site, and that many of the neighbors would be on the other side of Muddy Creek, which would mean any wells would not affect their groundwater. There were only four Supervisors present when it was time to take a vote as North District Supervisor Tommy Harvey was not in attendance. “There are aspects of this project that I think are positive and admirable, but the density concerns me,” said Central District Supervisor Ernie Reed. Parr supported the project, as did East District Supervior Jesse Rutherford. He is chair of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission and sits on the Regional Housing Partnership. “More often than not the struggle always comes down to how to make something affordable, Rutherford said. “Question always comes down to where is the appropriate place. I’ve found if you put it near an area that’s meant for high density, folks usually may not like it. And if you put it in the middle of nowhere folks might not like it and you’re going to get that perspective no matter which way you look at it.” Rutherford said the only way to attain affordability is through density. He said the Comprehensive Plan update needs to consider this as Nelson considers how to make housing attainable for more people. Given Harvey’s absence, Supervisors opted to continue the matter to the next meeting. That will give Shimp more time to respond to some of the questions asked.

Pandemic turns 2 Tomorrow marks the two-year anniversary of the declaration of emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic in Virginia. The seven-day percent average for new COVID tests is at 4.7 percent, around a level not seen since late last July when the Delta variant caused a surge that has not quite receded until now. Still, the Virginia Department of Health marks another 1,272 new cases today. The agency has also made changes to its COVID dashboard and no longer is listing case counts by locality. That data, as well as deaths reported by date, will continue to be available on Virginia’s open data portal.The Blue Ridge Health District does report local case data and there are 48 new cases today and the percent positivity is at 4.5 percent. The Centers for Disease Control now list Albemarle, Charlottesville and the other Blue Ridge Health District localities as medium. (review the map)“We were anticipating that we would be dropping to a medium level when we were looking at the numbers earlier this week so those were born out yesterday when the CDC updated their calculations,” said Dr. Costi Sifri, the director of hospital epidemiology at the University of Virginia Health System.Dr. Sifri said he would recommend that those with underlying conditions or who are immunocompromised to remain masked indoors and to make sure their mask offers enough protection. Dr. Sifri said there is a lot of immunity in the community through both vaccination and infections, but he said there is still opportunity for another variant to happen in the future. When will be determined on a number of variables. “And I think clearly for a lot of people after two years of living through this pandemic, they are at a point where they’ve been vaccinated, they’ve taken precautions, but have now sort of have come to a point where its an understanding there will be some level of circulation likely going forward for the foreseeable future and we could anticipate this may become another seasonal virus,” Dr. Sifri said. As we hit the two-year mark, there have been 19,212 COVID deaths in Virginia, and 431 in the Blue Ridge Health District. It’s been two years since I launched a podcast to cover the response. Go back and listen if you’d like to revisit any of that recent past. (Charlottesville Quarantine Report)Charlottesville sets April 18 work session for work session on climate action Nearly all functions of government in most Virginia localities can be derived from their Comprehensive Plan, which lays out broad steps to turn a community’s vision into action. The new Comprehensive Plan adopted by Council in November calls upon the city to create a specific plan to demonstrate how Charlottesville will meet specific reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The nonprofit Community Climate Collaborative wants City Council to spend more money to get a plan in place as soon as possible. Executive Director Susan Kruse posted a blog entry on March 3 saying Charlottesville has fallen behind on efforts. She read from this post at Council’s meeting this past Monday. “This July will mark three years since Charlottesville set its sights on climate leadership,” Kruse wrote in the post. “Three years, and we have no Climate Action Plan, our GHG emissions inventory is four years out-of-date, and the window to reduce emissions to prevent catastrophic impacts is rapidly closing.” On Monday, Deputy City Manager Sam Sanders acknowledged that the city has not been able to move swiftly to create a plan. “I just want to be upfront with everyone and acknowledge we know there’s work to be done there,” Sanders said. Sanders said there will be a Council work session on April 18 and staff in the city’s sustainability division will present what they have been working on since Council adopted reduction targets on July 1, 2019. That stated the city would work towards a “community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 target from its 2011 inventory year” as well as to be carbon neutral by 2050. (read the minutes)At the time, then-city manager Tarron Richardson was less than two months on the job and two other people have held that position since. Sanders has only worked for the city since last July. “There have been significant impacts from the COVID pandemic and organizational staffing changes that have prevented them from moving as originally planned,” Sanders said. “Our goal would be to try to get back on track so this would be a moment to reboot that effort.”Sanders said groups such as the Community Climate Collaborative will be involved in the work. After Sanders gave Council an update, Kruse read from her prepared letter during the city’s Community Matters portion. She acknowledged the April 18 work session, but pushed for a deadline to complete a Climate Action Plan. .“If current resources are not enough to complete the plan, it’s time for Council to bring in some outside help,” Kruse said. Last November, City Council adopted an update of the Comprehensive Plan, a document for which state code requires periodic revision. Review of this plan took nearly five years and its completion required the city to pay a consultant over a million dollars.One of the guiding principles in the plan is under the heading Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability. (look for it on page 22)“The City government will reduce its carbon footprint and other environmental impacts,” reads that guiding principle. “The Charlottesville community will be empowered and encouraged to reduce their environmental footprint and benefit from energy-efficiency efforts.”The various chapters of the Comprehensive Plan are embedded with many directives, strategies, and goals. For instance, Strategy 3.4 of the land use chapter (page 38) is to “encourage sustainable, energy efficient building designs and low impact development as complementary goals to historic preservation, including through support for adaptation, reuse, and repurposing of the built environment.” Goal 4 of the housing chapter has four strategies with steps toward addressing energy efficiency in new and existing housing (page 50)The transportation chapter (page 55) seeks to expand alternatives to driving and encourages the “adoption and support of new and emerging transportation technologies will further expand travel options throughout the city and will contribute toward the City’s climate goals and improving public health by reducing vehicle-related emissions.” There is an entire chapter with the title Environment, Climate, and Food Equity (page 65) that repeats the July 1, 2019 greenhouse gas emissions goal of which the first goal is dedicated to reaching the reduction targets, with eight strategies. The first listed is to create a Climate Action Plan.The environmental chapter also includes directives to prevent further degradation of the tree canopy, continue work in the city’s Water Resources Protection Program, and to encourage use of sustainable materials. The Community Facilities and Services chapter (page 79) covers community infrastructure and strategy 2.4 calls for the city “to employ innovative technology and green building practices for all eligible capital construction and renovation projects” and strategy 4.10 to “participate in and complete Climate Hazard Risk Assessment activities, to follow finalization of the Climate Action Plan.” Goal 1 of the Community Engagement and Collaboration is to “empower community members by providing and actively sharing the information they need to participate in a meaningful way.” Albemarle County adopted a Climate Action Plan in October 2020 that has much more specific details about how to get there. That work session will be held on April 18. Make sure you’re reading the Week Ahead newsletter each Sunday to know what’s coming up and follow along with stories on climate action at the Information Charlottesville archive. Today’s second shout-out goes to a Livable Cville eventIn today’s first subscriber supported shout-out, Livable Cville wants you to know about an online presentation coming up on Wednesday, March 16. "Can Zoning Create a More Affordable Charlottesville?" That’s the question to be explored by Dr. Jenny Schuetz of the Brookings Institute. She’s the author of Fixer-Upper: How to Repair America’s Broken Housing Systems. The event is free but you’ll have to register at EventBrite. Charlottesville seeking firm to model Moores Creek watershedA changing climate has meant the likelihood of more flooding across the Commonwealth, and Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) has meant more funding to help with preparation. Charlottesville is currently seeking an engineering firm to update models from 2008 for how stormwater flows in the Moores Creek watershed.Back then, the city partnered with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to produce that model, as well as ones for the portions of the city in the Rivanna and Meadow Creek watersheds. Now Charlottesville will use $153,000 from the Virginia Community Flood Preparedness Grant program to further study the Moores Creek watershed, which makes up a third of the city’s land along the southern border with Albemarle. “The stormwater management model will be a critical tool for planning and project implementation efforts administered under the umbrella of the City’s Water Resources Protection Program,” said Andrea Henry, the program’s administrator. “This is the first in what will hopefully be a series of models to support the development of stormwater management and flood resiliency plans for the City.”The more detailed information will help determine best locations for stormwater pipe upgrades, and to develop flood inundation maps for the various tributaries of Moores Creek including Lodge Creek, Rock Creek, Pollock’s Branch, and Quarry Creek. Goal 10 of the Community Facilities chapter of the Comprehensive Plan relates to stormwater conveyance infrastructure, with strategy 10.3 related to modernization efforts. Virginia joined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the summer of 2020, which means companies that generate electricity through fossil-fuel companies must pay to exceed caps on the amounts of carbon dioxide. In Virginia, more than half of the proceeds go to pay for flood preparedness programs. Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order soon after being inaugurated to withdraw Virginia from RGGI, but legislative approval is needed and so far efforts to withdraw have been blocked by the Senate, where Democrats have a 21 to 19 majority. So far, Virginia has received $227.6 million in proceeds from four auctions, including $85.6 million in December.Charlottesville Area Transit seeking input on future bus sheltersThe area’s primary fixed-route transit service is seeking your input into how their future bus shelters will look. “Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) seeks to develop a bus shelter design that will serve as a unique and universal identifier of transit in the Greater Charlottesville Area,” reads an announcement for a public survey seeking input on three designs.All three come out of a charette held last August, and CAT’s architectural consultant wants more comments in order to come up with one single concept. Another round of presentations will be held when that’s ready for public review. City seeking applications for internships, close to hiring CAPE director Do you know someone younger who could use an opportunity to gain some real-world experience? The City of Charlottesville is accepting applications from college students to work as paid interns all across the municipal government. “This is developmental work designed to provide university students and recent graduates with meaningful entry-level professional work,” reads the press release for the opportunity. “The assignments require application of university-level knowledge typically gained in profession-specific curriculum typically found in local government.” The release goes on to state that interns will be closely supervised and will work on a specific project during their temporary employment. Departments seeking interns include the City Manager’s office, the Office of Communications, Neighborhood Development Services, and the Police Civilian Oversight Board. Applicants need to have completes sixty hours of coursework and to have a grade point average of 2.0. Anyone interested can apply here. Speaking of jobs, the city still has several top vacancies that are still being filled. Deputy City Manager Ashley Marshall have City Council an update on Monday, March 7. “The city is making some progress on some key hires,” Marshall said. “Interviews are underway for our director of communications and public engagement. And yes that title does sound a little different because we are going to emphasize public engagement within our communications’ professional team.”That matches the same job title as the equivalent job in Albemarle County. Marshall said the city is also reviewing resumes for the Director of Human Services and the Director of Informational Technology. The position of Human Resources Director is still being advertised. “We expect to move forward to interview phases on all three of those last director positions shortly,” Marshall said.

This podcast discusses the Supreme Court's decision on the classification of relays triggered a reaction from the automobile industry and inturn, the CBIC. Meandering through the HSN, contemporary decisions on classification, the primary use test, and also on the nuance of classification being super-specific to the commodity sought to be classified, the CBIC's Circular is partly a response to trade representations to contextualise Westinghouse Saxby and partly a missive to field formations.Audio Source: An article published on the LKS website in January 2021 https://www.lakshmisri.com/insights/articles/westinghouse-saxby-farmer-ltd-the-saga-continues/ Authors: Sai Prashanth, Joint Partner (LKS), and Krithika Jaganathan, Principal Associate (LKS) Voice: Ena Chakravorty, Head- PR & Corporate Communications (LKS) www.lakshmisri.com

各位链团财经的读者朋友们，大家早上好，欢迎收听链团财经早资讯。今天是2021年3月29日，农历二月十七，首先让我们聚焦今日财经：纽约州将在下周启用区块链护照，以抗击新冠疫情俄罗斯反洗钱机构正与银行合作监控加密货币兑换为法币的交易昆山警方破获“仅用比特币结算”全球最大游戏外挂案，涉案金额达数亿元音乐人高嘉丰发布NFT单曲作品以太坊非零地址数量突破5620万个，创历史新高以太坊全网算力达到532 T，创历史新高WISeKey将于3月31日拍卖使用NFT防伪的手表EOS“最大” DeFi项目将迁移至BSC，开发者称担心EOS的未来SEC律师：XRP持有人希望干预Ripple诉讼以“恢复投机交易”蓝狐笔记：算法稳定币有高风险，不明白其中机制不要轻易入局印度财政部长：加密货币所得应作为收入征税，消费税适用于加密货币交易所的服务据Financial Express消息， 印度财政部长Anurag Singh Thakur表示，由于任何来源的收入都包含在1961年《所得税法》中，并且任何服务的提供（如果未明确免除）都应按照商品及服务税（GST）征税，加密货币交易和加密交易所提供的服务所得都应纳税。Thakur说：“无论业务性质如何，税收总收入应包括来自任何来源的所有收入。加密货币/资产转让产生的收益应在收入项下征税。提供任何服务，如果没有特别豁免，则根据商品及服务税应纳税，与加密货币兑换有关的服务也没有豁免。”该部长补充说，政府没有保存加密收益的数据，因为信息技术报表中没有规定获取此类收益的数据。中央间接税和海关委员会（CBIC）发布了独特的服务会计代码（SAC），将每项服务归入商品及服务税。Thakur说，由于加密货币没有专门的SAC，政府无法获得加密货币的商品及服务税收款。

O encarecimento dos materiais de construção no país pode prejudicar obras em andamento, construções de casas populares, aumentar o valor de imóveis e ameaçar a retomada dos lançamentos imobiliários no Espírito Santo. O diagnóstico é da Associação Empresas do Mercado Imobiliário do Espírito Santo (Ademi-ES). Nesta semana, a Ademi e outras instituições ligadas à Câmara Brasileira da Indústria da Construção (CBIC) se reuniram para juntar evidências de possíveis abusos nos preços dos materiais e discutir o assunto junto ao governo federal. Em entrevista ao CBN Cotidiano desta sexta-feira (18), o presidente da Ademi-ES, Sandro Carlesso, analisa o ce. "A alta no preço dos materiais de construção está abusiva e pode prejudicar toda a cadeia da indústria imobiliária, podendo inibir a retomada dos lançamentos de imóveis. Por conta da redução dos estoques em diferentes regiões da Grande Vitória, o mercado tem projetado para este semestre investimentos robustos em cidades como Vitória, por exemplo. Esse aumento também acarretará num preço final mais salgado para o consumidor, o que não queremos neste momento de pandemia", explica. O presidente também explica: "As vendas vão bem, apesar do cenário. Elas ocorrem numa velocidade consistente por força das condições favoráveis para financiamento, com juros baixos (a patamar histórico), além da inflação baixa não contribuir para um rendimento satisfatório da poupança (principal meio de investimento dos brasileiros). Quem tem recursos parados em cadernetas de poupança vem avaliando e decidindo pelo investimento do dinheiro em tijolo e cimento. A rentabilidade do imóvel tem se mostrado uma opção mais vantajosa inclusive para outros tipos de aplicações financeiras". Ouça as explicações completas!
Today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out is for Abundant Life Ministries, “working hard to create a better future for the Charlottesville community.”*Today the Virginia Department of Health reports another 1,115 cases of COVID-19 and another three deaths. The seven-day average for positive tests dropped to 7.5 percent. There are another 53 cases reported in the Thomas Jefferson Health District, with 34 of those from Charlottesville and eleven from Albemarle. Yesterday, the University of Virginia updated its COVID-19 tracker with data from Wednesday, and reported another 25 cases for a cumulative total of 282 since August 17. Of those, 238 are students. The tracker also reports six percent of quarantine rooms are in use, as well as one percent of isolation rooms. *Charlottesville may soon be close to hiring someone to run the department that oversees planning within the city’s 10.4 square miles. Earlier this year, the director of the Neighborhood Development Services was demoted as part of a reorganization ordered by City Manager Tarron Richardson and a new person has not yet been hired. City Councilor Lloyd Snook gave this update on the process at Thursday’s meeting of the PLACE Design Task Force.“There is a person, and some of you may have been involved with the interview process, who had some video interviews and zoom interviews and apparently where we stand with that right now is that that person would like to come to Charlottesville actually physically before deciding to take the step,” Snook said. “This person has familiarity with Charlottesville over thirty years but not currently.” Snook told PLACE he has been frustrated by an inability to enact many of his campaign platforms because of COVID-19 and because of “difficulties of what’s been going on in City Hall.” (watch the PLACE meeting)City Council is having a special meeting at 1 p.m. today to discuss a personnel matter.*Last night a local group that promotes tech companies in the Charlottesville area handed out its annual awards at a virtual gala. Chiedo John, a software engineer at GitHub, served as the master of ceremonies for the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council’s 2020 celebration of the tech community. The first award went to Ting for Business of the Year. “Ting has been serving Charlottesville for over five years and from our inception, CBIC has been our conduit to the start-up, innovator and technology infrastructure that fuels the Charlottesville business community,” said Kara Chandeysson of Ting while accepting the award. The Educator of the Year Award went to Dominique Morse, youth entrepreneurship facilitator of Albemarle County's Murray High School and Community Middle School. “To you that means a person that comes in and works with your children on design and also taking those designs and potentially turning that into a business or just thinking about the entrepreneurial aspect of how something I’m doing in school can affect the community,” Morse said. The CBIC Entrepreneur of the Year went to Cynthia Adams of Pearl Certification.“We make home value visible through a platform that collects data on energy efficient and renewable features so that homes can appraise for more at resale or re-fi,” Adams said. “We launched Pearl Certification and currently are headquartered here in Charlottesville because this community is so supportive when it comes to clean tech, sustainability and entrepreneurship.”The Innovator of the Year went to Welld Health, a division of ACAC. “Welld Health is an innovative software platform that was built from scratch here in Charlottesville and is designed to make prevention sustainable,” said Chris Craytor. “How do we as a country live a healthier lifestyle and how do we make sure we have the prevention we need to avoid the health care that we don’t want is accessible for all.” The Top Jobs Creator of the Year was to go to “a technology or tech-centric business for its noteworthy achievement of generating secure well paying, primarily tech jobs and retaining highly skilled workers.” This year that went to Commonwealth Computer Research Inc, or CCRi. “We were not expecting this, this is a big surprise, we’ve only been a tech company in Charlottesville for 31 years,” said Julia Farill, director of people operations at CCRi. “That’s not long enough, is it?” The CBIC Partnership of the Year award this year is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and was introduced by President Elizabeth Cromwell.“The CBIC Partnership of the year award recognizes new partnerships built in the last 18 months that model collaborative innovation and achievement that inspires others,” said Elizabeth Cromwell, president of the Chamber. This year’s prize went to New Hill Development Corporation and the Fountain Fund for their work on financial literacy. Here is Yolunda Harrell of the New Hill Development Corporation. “We are so excited about the partnership we have with the Fountain Fund,” Harrel said. “Part of our role at New Hill Development Corporation is to focus on financial capability. Everyone is capable of achieving the financial dreams that they would like.”The Social Good Award went to Antwon Brinson for Culinary Concepts. “Culinary Concepts was designed as a solution for folks that are in the food and beverage industry that are looking for a step up,” Brinson said. “There’s a lot of folks that don’t want to go to culinary school but they found themselves in this industry and they’re looking for certifications or some type of foundational training to elevate their skills to be able to move up the ladder. So I designed this program to give people the foundational skills they need to grow.” The Start-Up of the Year went to Cardboard Live, a firm that seeks to transform the board game experience. The Student Entrepreneur of the Year went to Roman Bohuk of MetaCTF. “We have some exciting things coming up in October,” Bohuk said. “October is Cyber Security Awareness Month so a lot of our clients are looking to do things, and run trainings.” This is a public episode.

Today’s Patreon-inspired shout-out is from a supporter who wants to say one more time… “Vote. That's it. Just vote. Vote early. Take your friends to vote early. Vote in person. Vote early! Did I already mention that?” And we have a news item on this today! *Nearly one thousand people registered yesterday for the first and possibly last campaign forum featuring the two candidates for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District. The event was put on by the Senior Statesmen of Virginia, and was held virtually on a Zoom call. The audio is available on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network. Dr. Cameron Webb is an attorney and physician who works for the University of Virginia Health System and served on the White House Health Care team in both the Obama and Trump administrations. Webb said in his opening statement that his decision to go into politics stems from his wish to heal the community.“Being a doctor, being a physician, it means that we’re leaning into the issues that make our patients sick, and often times those issues that make them sick, they’re issues related to education, and housing, or food insecurity, challenges with earning a decent wage or having a good paying job, those are the factors that really drive the outcomes in my patients.” Webb said. Bob Good has worked in the finance industry, served as an athletic director at Liberty University and has served on the Board of Supervisors in Campbell County outside Lynchburg. In his opening statement, he said he understood what it was like to live in poverty.“I know what it was like to get free lunch at school, to be in the lunch line with the free lunch voucher if you will and to know what that feels like as a young kid,” Good said. “I know what it’s like to get sent by your mother to walk a mile down the street to the grocery store because we didn’t have a car and to buy groceries with food stamps... I had to work for everything all of my life as long as I can remember and as we struggled for the essentials and we certainly didn’t have any of the extras, so I learned to work at a young age and I think that’s one of the most important things for a young person to do, is to learn to work and to learn the value of things, that has shaped me all of my life.” Webb had limited his opening statement to his own biography, but Good opted to go on the attack.“My opponent is aligned with the radical socialist left that has become much of the Democrat party,” Good said. “If he were elected he would do everything in his power to stop President Trump’s agenda or God forbid enact the Biden/Harris agenda if President Trump was not reelected.” In response, Webb cited a string of endorsements.“I’m proud that I am endorsed by the entire span of the Democratic party,” Webb said. Moderates, centrists and also progressives that shows my ability to build consensus. The reason why I have members of the current Trump administration still acknowledge all that I contributed and how I think that I am a pretty awesome guy.” The audio is available on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network. * Early voting in Virginia begins next Friday and the Albemarle Board of Supervisors got an update this week on what the process will be like. The General Assembly passed a law in 2019 allowing anyone to vote absentee in advance without an excuse. The law was amended this year to open up the window to 45 days before the election. Localities must offer the ability for people to vote at the registrar’s office. Lance Stewart, the director of facilities and environmental services in Albemarle, said the county is working to make early voting safe. “We have state mandates to follow in relation to protection of citizens and others from COVID-19,” Stewart said. “We have our own local ordinance and there are a slew of best practice recommendations from the state and the CDC that we are going to try to observe.”Early voting in Albemarle will be at the county office building on 5th Street Extended. Earlier this year, the county had considered moving the registrar’s office to a more central location on U.S. 29, but the plan was reconsidered soon after the pandemic began. Stewart said the county is encouraging people to vote by mail in order to limit crowds. “We don’t know the exact volume that we might get from this early voting opportunity,” Stewart said. “Predictions were that they might be significant with as many as 60 percent of people who vote.” Steps taken include dedicating parking spaces for voting, creating a way for people to move through the office building without passing each other, and expanded hours closer to Election Day. *The Virginia Department of Health reports another 1,236 cases of COVID-19 today, and another 11 deaths. The seven-day average of positive tests is at 7.6 percent today. There are another 28 new cases in the Thomas Jefferson Health District with half from Charlottesville. The seven-day average for TJHD has dropped to 5.8 percent The University of Virginia reported another 26 cases on September 8, with 24 of those students. That brings the total to 257 positive cases since August 17, with 214 of those students. Five percent of quarantine beds are in use, as are one percent of the isolation beds set aside. *Tonight is the night of the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council’s Gala, happening around virtual tables in a virtual gathering space. CBIC helps promote and advocate the technology community in the area, and tonight the annual awards will finally be handed out at the gala. Craig Honick, the incoming chair of CBIC, explains why they decided to hold the event electronically rather than postpone until safer times. “We just felt this really important part of our function is to celebrate local businesses that are stand-outs and we didn’t want that to get interrupted,” Honick said. “We had done the voting in preparation for the May gala and then instead of canceling it we decided to move it to the fall.”Honick said tonight’s event offers a chance for people to get involved with the tech community by watching the awards being handed out. Usually there are about 400 attendees, but the audience tonight could be larger. “The event is free,” Honick said. “There’s an opportunity to make a donation to the organization if you’d like to support but anyone can attend. They just have to register.” (learn more and register) This is a public episode. Get access to private episodes at communityengagement.substack.com/subscribe

Today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out comes from a patron who wants to say:“Vote. That's it. Just vote. Vote early. Take your friends to vote early. Vote in person. Vote early! Did I already mention that?” I think he did. *There have been another 1,021 cases of COVID-19 reported by the Virginia Department of Health today, for a cumulative total of 121,615. There have been another 32 deaths recorded for a total of 2,612 to date. The statewide seven-day average for positive tests increased to 7.7 percent today, up from 7.4 percent yesterday. In the Thomas Jefferson Health District, there are another 15 cases and no new deaths reported today. The seven-day average for positive tests was not available at recording time. The University of Virginia reports another eight cases of COVID-19 today, with six of those being students. That brings the total number of cases since August 17 to 123, with 89 of those students. UVA returns for in-person classes a week from now, on September 8. (UVA COVID tracker)* With the pandemic entering its sixth month, thousands of Virginians face eviction as the economic slowdown has put so many out of work. Governor Ralph Northam announced yesterday a $4 million payment to the Legal Services Corporation of Virginia to hire more attorneys to represent those who will end up in court to challenge eviction notices. A moratorium on evictions expired on June 28 and was reinstated in August. That now runs out again on September 7. In the meantime, there are a lot of pending cases. “Ten thousand eviction cases were docketed in Virginia courts from mid-July to August,” Northam said. “The Virginia Poverty Law Center estimates some 230,000 eviction cases could be filed through the end of this year.” More than a million Virginians have filed for unemployment benefits since the pandemic began. The Northam administration has created a Rent and Mortgage Relief Program that has $50 million in funding, including $450,000 in the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. Still, many of the eviction cases will proceed, and Northam said hiring more attorneys can help affected households navigate the process.“Legal Aid makes a real difference if you’re facing eviction,” Northam said. “In fact, when Legal Aid attorneys represent people in eviction proceedings, 72 percent have successful outcomes.” The $4 million payment consists of a $2 million repayment from IKEA for unemployment benefits its employees received from the state when stores were shut down in the early days of the pandemic. The other half comes from the proceeds of taxes on skills machines in Virginia. For more on the state of evictions in the state of Virginia, read this August 31 article by Ned Oliver in the Virginia Mercury. *Local sales tax collections are up sharper this year in the communities that surround Albemarle and Charlottesville, but the city’s revenues have declined. That’s one conclusion drawn from the Free Enterprise Forum’s Retail Report for the second quarter of 2020. Forum President Neil Williamson and former Chamber of Commerce president Tim Hulbert analyzed data collected from each community and found that local sales tax revenues increased by 18.5 percent in Fluvanna, 18.5 percent in Greene and 24.3 percent in Louisa. Albemarle collected one percent more than in the second quarter of 2019, and Charlottesville’s sales tax collection was 11.6 percent less this year over last year. The report states that one factor is a reduction in people commuting to Charlottesville and spending money in their home communities. Another theory is that dramatically fewer people were in Charlottesville as a result of the closure of the University of Virginia in March. “As enterprises continue to pivot their business models to accommodate social distancing and other COVID-19 realities, we are hopeful that the economic rebound we see in some localities becomes a region wide trend,” Williamson and Hulbert write in the report, which also attributes some of the higher numbers to the recent Supreme Court decision mandating localities to receive sales tax from online purchases made within their jurisdiction. *In nine days, the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council (CBIC) will finally hold its annual awards gala, just three months after the pandemic caused the May event to be canceled. Each year, the CBIC gala honors tech companies and innovators in the community and this year’s event will be a little different. The gala will be held electronically but not on a regular Zoom call. Instead, participants will be seated at a virtual table and can interact and network with their seat mates. Heidi Tombs is the co-chair of the CBIC Gala. “We were looking for the virtual solution to put on this event,” said Heidi Tombs, co-chair of the CBIC Gala. “We were really looking to capture some elements of the gala that our attendees have given us great feedback about in the past and two of those essential elements are connecting with our local innovators through Innovators Row and being able to network, whether you are looking for your next job opportunity or looking for investors or just looking to connect with other people in your industry who can help you make your way.” Awards include Business of the Year, Partnership of the Year, and the Social Good Award. Review the finalists on the CBIC Gala website. This year’s event is open to admission on a pay as you can basis. The event takes place on September 10 beginning at 5 p.m. *There are three meetings of note coming up today that might be of interest. The first is the Albemarle Board of Zoning Appeals, which has a routine public hearing on a sign for three new buildings coming to Pantops at the corner of U.S. 250 and Route 20. As a reminder, these are a Wawa, a self storage unit, and a 122-room hotel. (meeting info) Next, the Albemarle Planning Commission will have a work session on Crozet’s future land use map, and specifically a discussion about what is known as “middle missing” housing. That refers to structures with multiple residential units, such as duplexes, fourplexes and other forms. “They are referred to as “missing” because they have typically been prohibited from being constructed by zoning ordinances across the United States and are typically a more affordable option than single-family homes due to the cost of land,” reads a handout that county staff made for participants in the on-going Crozet Master Plan update. Finally, Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker will join Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall Brackney on a new episode of Charlottesville 360, the city’s in-house talk show. This conversation begins at 5:30 p.m. (details)A couple of corrections. Yesterday the newsletter reported the incorrect daily figure of new COVID cases for Virginia. The correct number was 847. In addition, in the Week Ahead newsletter I stated that a planned unit development project had already been approved, when in fact the item has not yet been scheduled for a public hearing with the Planning Commission and City Council. These items will be corrected in the archive. This is a public episode. Get access to private episodes at communityengagement.substack.com/subscribe
