TRAFFIC ALERT : Prepare For Traffic Shift Near Nelson/Albemarle County Line 151 & 250

Thursday, be alert for flaggers at the intersection of U.S. 250 & Rt. 151

Rockfish Gap Turnpike
Route 151 / 250 Intersection
Near the Nelson / Albemarle County Line

From VDOT:

“Construction is moving into a new phase Thursday, May 12, as contract crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation transform the intersection of U.S. 250 (Rockfish Gap Turnpike) and Route 151 (Critzer Shop Road) into a roundabout.

Flagging teams will be on hand to shift all northbound and southbound traffic on Route 151 to the east. This temporary traffic pattern will allow workers to install a drainage structure for the project. The new pattern will remain in effect until this phase of the project is complete.

Construction of the new roundabout began in November, 2021, and crews are on target to finish it later this year, six months ahead of schedule.

Afton
Nelson County, Virginia

A team of North Branch School 7th- and 8th-graders qualified to travel to the national KidWind competition being held in San Antonio, Texas in mid-May. They will test and demonstrate their wind turbine design, present their process to the judges, and answer judges’ questions.

North Branch sent three teams to the regional competition at JMU in March and two of those teams qualified for the state competition held in Petersburg at the end of April. From that event, one team qualified to represent Virginia at the national competition, which is part of a larger conference on wind energy.

Such an exciting opportunity for these students and for North Branch School.  They are currently raising funds to send 5 students and 1 teacher to Texas. The estimated cost for airfare, accommodations, and ground transportation is between $1,200-$1,500 for each individual.  Anyone interested in supporting this amazing opportunity may donate here: https://bit.ly/NorthBranchdonation

Nelson County Receives Virginia Tourism Corporation Grant for Tourism Marketing

Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) awarded more than $2.7 million for 259 local and regional tourism marketing programs across the state to help increase visitation and revenue for Virginia’s localities through tourism.

Nelson County Tourism received a $20,000 grant for its Dark Skies Trail and Nelson WinterMarkt. Nelson County is partnering with many local attractions and lodging partners to supply more than $17,000 in matching funds for the project which will create a trail for those wishing to explore the dark skies in Nelson County while visiting as well as create an authentic European Christmas Market in November and December. The program of work is designed to drive more overnight traffic to the County during the period of the Summer Solstice through Christmas.

Nelson County Administrator Stephen A. Carter notes, “These funds are vital to continuing to add new product to our tourism offerings. Our dark skies are an important asset that need to be celebrated and protected.  The Nelson WinterMarkt will also be a wonderful addition to our holiday programming. We are grateful for the support of Virginia Tourism Corporation for their leadership and support.”

“These grant funds provide an important opportunity for communities across the Commonwealth to accelerate recovery efforts and continue with their best-in-class marketing initiatives to attract new travelers,” said Rita McClenny, president and CEO of Virginia Tourism. “Increased visitation translates directly into revenue generation, underscoring tourism’s important role in stimulating economic growth and expansion”

The VTC Regional Marketing Program aims to help Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) drive overnight visitation and to supplement funding for economically significant special events and festivals in order to increase overnight visitation.  The DMO funding is projected to drive more than 125,000 room nights over the next 18 months.
