Welcome to the last day of the fiscal year of 2023, a day that perhaps could use a few carols and celebrations. Perhaps such things will occur in the future if Charlottesville Community Engagement can return to full form? Either way, this is also the 550th edition of a newsletter and podcast intended to bring people information about things happening as we head into a summer holiday slowdown. I’m Sean Tubbs. 

On today’s program: 

* UVa reacts to yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action 

* One of Albemarle County’s swimming lakes is closed due to an algae bloom

* A very small percentage of Albemarle County’s population responds to a survey on the Comprehensive Plan

* Two groups seeking to promote entrepreneurship receive $300,000 from Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development 

* New pickleball courts coming to Farmington and more development news from Albemarle County
