Golubuff described physical changes that will be made at the law school, as well as a requirement that everyone leave the building by 9 p.m. so cleaning crews can get to work.

Undergraduate classes begin online starting on August 25.

Here’s Speaker of the House Eileen Filler-Corn shortly after roll call was taken.“Members of the House, we are gathering today at this unprecedented time in our Commonwealth’s history,” said Speaker of the House Eileen Filler-Corn. “Virginians are hurting. Students, workers, families, businesses have all been hit hard by the coronavirus whose impact none of us in this room none of could have ever imagined.” Visit the General Assembly’s website for a full list of meeting times and links to the proceedings. *The Virginia Department of Health has issued a harmful algae bloom advisory for tributaries that feed into Lake Anna, as well as parts of the lake itself. These are the Middle Pamunkey Branch of Lake Anna, now in addition to the Upper Pamunkey Branch, Terry’s Run, and the Upper North Anna Branch of Lake Anna in Orange, Louisa and Spotsylvania counties are experiencing a bloom of cyanobacteria, which can cause skin irritations. According to a release, “the public is advised to avoid contact with the lake in these areas until algae concentrations return to acceptable levels.” Visit swimhealthyva.com to learn more. * There are new officers for the Albemarle Economic Development Authority following the resignation of the former chair, vice chair and secretary-treasurer at the end of their meeting in July. Donald Long volunteered to take on the role through the end of the year. Stuart Munson will serve as vice chair. David Shreve will serve as the new secretary-treasurer.

Developer Kyle Redinger altered his proposal for the land after a different project was rejected by the commission last October. However, the commission did not recommend a special exception that would allow Redinger to build only one kind of housing. Here’s at-large member Tim Keller.“I think the applicant has come a long ways on this and I am supportive of the overall project but I am not supportive of the special exception,” Keller said. The Board of Supervisors is expected to hear the item on October 7. *Speaking of the Board of Supervisors, they will meet at 2 p.m. today for a meeting that includes a review of a possible roundabout to replace the signalized intersection of Rio Road and the John Warner Parkway.

The Solarize Piedmont program runs through August 31. Bri West is the Communications Director for PEC. “It’s all about demystifying the process of going solar,” said Bri West, communications director at PEC. “Over the years a lot what we’ve heard from people is a readiness and interest in going solar and then there’s this apprehension of whether I’m going to get the right installer, or get the right price.” Ryan Patten with LEAP explains what happens after you sign up for the program.“Once you sign up we’ll email you within a few business days and we’ll let you know what we see through various satellite images, whether your home or property looks good for solar or not,” Patten said. “Things we are looking for include shading concerns, large trees, other buildings nearby and also the angle of the roof may come into play as well. We’ll take a look at all that information and follow up with an email with you.” You can watch the whole video on the PEC YouTube channel. *One correction is required. On the August 18, 2020 edition of the show, I incorrectly reported the cost share between Albemarle and Charlottesville. Ratepayers in Albemarle are responsible for 80 percent of future costs of the waterline to connect the Ragged Mountain and South Fork Rivanna reservoirs.
