Charlottesville Utilities Hosts the Final Listening Session for the Gas Decarbonization Study

August 14, 2024

(note: the text below is slightly adapted from a News Release dated 8/13/24)

Charlottesville’s Department of Utilities will conclude its series of Listening Sessions for the Charlottesville Gas Decarbonization Study with an in-person session on Thursday, August 22nd from 6pm-7:15pm at CitySpace on the Downtown Mall. All area residents are welcome but you must register in advance here: www.tinyurl.com/CvilleGasStudy.

Validated parking for the session will be available at the Market Street Garage located at 546 E Market Street, directly above CitySpace.  If you need help with registration, please call Utilities Outreach at 434-970-3686.

The Utilities Department is especially interested in encouraging members of the community who have not already attended a Listening Session to register for this event and share their thoughts on decarbonization. In 2023, the Utilities Department began work to determine how its natural gas utility can help meet community greenhouse gas reduction goals, and public input is essential to this comprehensive analysis. The first two sessions benefited from the good turnout of residents and business owners from both Charlottesville and Albemarle County.

As with the first two sessions, facilitation will be provided by Launch! Consulting, and community members will learn about Charlottesville’s climate goals, gain insights into the Charlottesville Gas Utility and its existing programs, and receive highlights on the gas decarbonization study, with the majority of the session reserved for the community to provide feedback relevant to the study.

If you are unable to attend the session, Utilities still wants to hear from you! Please email us with your name and address and thoughts on decarbonization to Utilities Outreach at utilitiesoutreach@charlottesville.gov.
