I’m assuming that by “Charlottesville” they mean “the Charlottesville region.”
The Daily Progress offered valuable insight on the area’s economy earlier this year.
Update 10 March 2008: This cannot possibly be a bad thing for our economy:
Howell described four major building projects intended to meet these challenges. Three of the facilities will be completed during the next 3 ½ years (by 2010-11). Several will transform the landscape in and around the “new hospital†which was opened for business in 1989 off Jefferson Park Avenue.
The four major hospital building projects are:
  * Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center at JPA and Lee Street (site of the hospital’s West parking garage)
  * Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) at Northridge on Route 250 W
  * A new 72-bed six-story tower to be added to the face of the “new hospitalâ€
  * Barry & Bill Battle Children’s Hospital (near the intersection of JPA and West Main Street)
