Neighborhoods Advisory Group Meetings
The Neighborhoods Advisory Group brings together neighborhood leaders and U.Va. representatives. The meetings provide a forum once a semester for neighborhood leaders to ask questions or to raise concerns about University developments. At the meetings, U.Va. representatives describe building plans on the horizon as well as provide updates on current construction projects.
The Neighborhoods Advisory Group last met on Sept. 25, 2007. Cheryl Gomez, Director of U.Va.'s Utilities, presented information about the University's efforts to conserve water. Becca White, Director of Parking and Transportation, discussed Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and David Neuman, Architect for the University, presented an overview of major University construction projects.

Good Neighbor Guide
Designed primarily for student renters, the Good Neighbor Guide: University of Virginia Students' Guide to Off-Grounds Living describes how to navigate the off-Grounds experience. It also provides information about city and county ordinances pertaining to trash removal, noise, parking, alcohol and conduct.
It encourages students to get involved in their neighborhood by engaging in activities that connect them with neighborhood residents.
The guide is available by contacting (434) 924-1321 or communityrelations@virginia.edu. A charge may be levied on large orders.
