Former UVA basketball star part of redevelopment project at 1101 East Market Street
A former University of Virginia basketball player who also played in the National Basketball Association is part of a development team that seeks to build eleven townhouses in downtown Charlottesville.
“Just excited to be back in town and on about the progress with this project,” said Sean Singletary, who played for UVA in the mid 2000’s. “Ever since I graduated from school here, I’ve always wanted to move back here and just give back to the community. Charlottesville and UVA have done so much for me.”
A preliminary site plan has been filed with the city of Charlottesville to build several townhomes in the Little High subsection of the Martha Jefferson neighborhood [sic!] at the intersection of East Market and 11th Street.
In all, 11th Street Partners seeks to consolidate four lots into one before building ten townhomes. Several existing structures on those properties would be removed, but a house at 1103 East Market Street would remain as it is not part of this project and is owned separately.
As part of this plan, the house at 1101 East Market Street would be replaced with a new structure. [Read more…]
March Neighborhood Association Meeting
The LHNA is meeting tonight at 7pm via zoom (access info below). All are welcome and encouraged to attend. We apologize for the extremely late notice.
Agenda
- New board member Rita Fravel has made a proposal to build a raised garden bed in the Mews and we will take a vote.
- We have a lovely wooden bulletin board for paper notifications of various things pertaining to the neighborhood. We just need to agree on where to put it and what types of flyers are acceptable and what aren’t.
- Garden Day — we will discuss possible dates and how it should be organized to be of greater interest to more residents.
- Our world famous Sumner (not a typo) concert series — we will attempt to hash out the basic outlines of these events.
- Summer neighborhood picnic — we’ll talk about some dates and how we’ll manage the elections for board officers on this occasion.
- Feedback on the new neighborhood Constitution and Bylaws.
- And more!

Central Water Line Project Meeting March 30
Everyone is invited to the Little High Neighborhood Association’s meeting with Michelle Simpson, project engineer with the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority (RWSA), to discuss the Central Water Line Project, a multi-year project to improve the basic infrastructure of our local water system. Part of the project involves putting in new water pipes running through (which will require digging up) 10th and/or 11th streets between East Jefferson and East High streets. See the Fact Sheet and map below or go to the RWSA website for more detail.
Our meeting will be held via zoom on Wednesday, March 30, at 7pm. The project is still in its planning phase, so this is a great opportunity to ask questions and raise any concerns. We want to encourage as much participation as we can get from our neighborhood and nearby neighborhoods, so please help spread the word to your neighbors. The LHNA is NOT taking any position for or against this plan — this is simply an important opportunity for residents to find out more and to ask questions.
*Residents of the Belmont-Carlton and Martha Jefferson neighborhoods are invited to join us!*
