Bypass reroute, fatal crash, downtown fire, UVA accreditation: News briefs


Crews tore down what was left of a city-owned building on Water Street used to store records and equipment for the city’s Parks and Recreation Department after a 6:20am fire destroyed the structure. The damage was too extensive to determine the cause of the blaze, officials said. The city’s Holiday Market, scheduled for Saturday, December 21, will go on as scheduled in the Water Street parking lot surrounding the now-vacant building site. Photo: Martin Kyle
