PROJECTS - NEW AND ONGOING
In October 2017, the Millwood Community Association held a community meeting to get input about our residents’ most pressing needs. In addition, the MCA created a mail in survey during Covid for more input from more people. We tabulated results and created a Long Range Plan for action. Some projects are still in the idea phase and some are ongoing.
We are always looking for volunteers and committee members! Please hit the Volunteer button below and let us know of your interest.

Property Rehabilitation and Stabilization
In order to save the historic nature of our Village, we need to stabilize each structure, one at a time. Paint, gutters, and some roofing can help to preserve a building and maintain property values.

Community Resource Center
The Millwood Community Center would like to create a center for the research and display of the history. It could also be a center for local information about health, voting, government services.

Traffic Calming
We are exploring ways to slow down speeding vehicles and limit the numbers that cut through Millwood each day. Currently, we are in the initial stages of engaging a traffic consultant to help design a simple, effective and visually appropriate traffic calming plan. We will develop the plan with community input and coordinate with the requirements of Board of Supervisors and VDOT.
Our Traffic Calming Committee is now soliciting donations for a study phase of the the project. We appreciate and welcome all donations!
