Pantops

UVA Health's planned outpatient center on Pantops in Albemarle County, Virginia, could cost the county roughly $330,000 a year in property tax revenue. Because UVA Health is a public, tax-exempt entity, the facility would not generate the tax income a private development would, raising local budget questions. Local news coverage has highlighted the fiscal trade-off between expanding health services and lost county revenue.

UVA Health has acquired the former State Farm property in the Pantops area of Charlottesville, Virginia. The health system announced the purchase of the site, though details about its intended use have not been shared. The acquisition gives UVA Health a significant footprint in a busy commercial corridor across the river from its main medical center, and residents are watching for what the organization plans to build there.
