City grants permit renewal extension

The Charlottesville Department of Parks & Recreation granted Occupy Charlottesville an automatic permit renewal extension Tuesday, allowing the group to remain in Lee Park for 30 more days. The extension will renew the group's permit to the City of Charlottesville 10 times, every three days.

The group has been in Lee Park since last Monday, protester Zac Fabian said.

Prior to this extension, Occupy Charlottesville had to apply for a renewal every three days, beginning Oct. 18. Brian Daly, director of the Department of Parks & Recreation, said he does not recall a permit renewal of this nature occurring in the past.
