|-
|style="color:#000"|'''cvillepedia''' is a resource on government and the community in [[Albemarle County]] and [[Charlottesville]], and ''we need your help!''

Have you ever wondered what the relationship is between the [[City of Charlottesville]] and the [[Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority]]? Why are the Central Grounds for the [[University of Virginia]] technically in [[Albemarle County]]? Why do County residents pay taxes to the City of Charlottesville through the [[Revenue sharing agreement|revenue sharing agreeement]]? The answer to these questions can often be hard to find.

That's where cvillepedia comes in. cvillepedia is a wiki hosted by [[Charlottesville Tomorrow]] to document the history and explain the structure of civic life in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. The goal is to create a destination for all residents to learn about our community.

''"Wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.”'' Thomas Jefferson, 1789
