Local residents, newly versed in the basics of master planning, sat down Wednesday night and sank their teeth into the possibilities of land use along the U.S. 29 growth corridor in Albemarle County.
…
With 1,500 to 2,000 new residents moving into the county every year, the time to plan for growth is now, Board of Supervisors Chairman Dennis S. Rooker told the 100-or-so residents who came to the meeting at the Doubletree Hotel Charlottesville.

“the time to plan is NOW???” This seems to me a disingenuous statement. The time to plan was 20-25 years ago. Admit failure and move on.
This is an aerial view of 29 North from 1984. I dare say that the one taken today would look a little bit different.
