Reinventing Jefferson's Village

Our Founding Father Envisioned a Nation of Villages

Atwood Village
A village center created for Crozet...

Sprawling metropolis was probably not something our founders could imagine. They saw a nation made up of villages were agriculture and industry were more localized. Today the opportunity exists to convert some of our old strip malls into centers for villages. Here is one developed by one of my clients that I helped visualize.
