LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Small Town Over Profit Petition
Grassroots Williamsburg campaign counters high-density development downtown
To The Editor,
The 2018 Downtown Vibrancy Study, paid for by the City of Williamsburg, was presented at the January 2025 City Council meeting. This study proposes the most massive transformation of our town since the Historic Area Restoration, with two recommendations that sound alarm bells of destruction for our town: Loosening height restrictions and increasing density, RIGHT IN THE AREA NEXT TO MERCHANT’S SQUARE AND THE HISTORIC AREA. We cannot allow the zoning changes necessary to allow three-and four-story apartments/condominiums. If Developers and Real Estate investors get their way, they will make money while we lose the charm and unique essence of this place we live in and love. Can you share the Small Town Over Profit petition through the Independent?
