Headquarters Project in the Ivy Business Park on Morgantown Road

Tuesday, August 17, 2004

Background:

Faulconer Construction plans to build a new headquarters and heavy industrial equipment maintenance facility on a 27.37 acre site they purchased off Morgantown Road and Dettor Road in the Ivy Business Park. This site is zoned for light industrial (LI) usage.  This headquarters would service their projects in Virginia, Pennsylvania and the Carolinas.

As of August 2004, Faulconer Construction has  their final site plan under review by Albemarle County.  Faulconer received approval for their preliminary site plan in 2003.  The final site plan will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on September 7, 2004 and County staff are recommending their approval of the plan as of August 17, 2004. 

The Ivy Community Association is responding as follows:

bulletReviewing all details of the activities proposed for the site.
bulletReceived tax-exempt status in August 2003 and is launching a major fundraising campaign.
bulletContinues to retain Frank Buck as our attorney working on the project.
bulletTaking the legal battle to the Virginia Supreme Court to appeal the September 2003 Albemarle County Circuit Court decision against the community.

The Ivy Community Association is working very hard on the Faulconer project and we need your help in the form of financial support and attendance at upcoming meetings in 2004.

"It is our belief that this site design will open up this heavily wooded site and provide the immediate area with a park like setting that will help to soften the affect of the other development that has already occurred near by."
