This meeting, like all regular City Council meetings, will be open to the public. Mayor Jeanne Zeidler is particularly interested in the enforcement aspects of the ordinance. She is “interested in seeing a revision to the ordinance that would identify the hours of 11 pm to 7 am as the hours of enforcement in the section dealing with large parties.” The Mayor feels that would make the ordinance more consistent and, in her opinion, “elim- inate the unintended consequence of parties generat- ing a reasonable level of noise being shut down be- fore 11 p.m. if there was a complaint.” Alec McKinley In a recent interview, Mayor Zeidler mentioned, Power hour: Police respond to a power outtage that occured when a lamp near Barret ruptured.

  • Chapter 9 - Institutions
    Chapter 9 - Institutions INSTITUTIONS Since its establishment in 1699, Williamsburg has been defined by its major public institutions. William & Mary and Bruton Parish Church preceded the city and were its first institutional partners. Virginia’s colonial government was based here from Williamsburg’s founding in 1699 until the capital was moved to Richmond in 1780. The Publick Hospital, which became Eastern State Hospital, was a significant presence in the city from 1773 until completing its move to James City County in 1970. Finally, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation traces its origin to 1926, when John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began the Colonial Capital restoration. William & Mary and Colonial Williamsburg comprise 43% of the city’s total land area. This chapter will discuss the impact of these two institutions on the city. 2021 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9 - Institutions Page 9-1 Chapter 9 - Institutions WILLIAM & MARY William & Mary, one of the nation’s premier state-assisted liberal arts universities, has played an integral role in the city from the start. The university was chartered in 1693 by King William III and Queen Mary II and is the second oldest higher educational institution in the country. William & Mary’s total enrollment in the fall of 2018 was 8,817 students, 6,377 undergraduate, 1,830 undergraduate, and 610 first-professional students. The university provides high-quality undergraduate, graduate, and professional education comprised of the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Law, and Marine Science. The university had 713 full-time faculty members and 182 part-time faculty members in 2018/19. The university’s centerpiece is the Wren Building, attributed apocryphally to the English architect Sir Christopher Wren.

  • Winter 2020 Newsletter Vol. 2, No. 3
    WINTER 2020 NEWSLETTER VOL. 2, NO. 3 WOMEN OF THE RESTORATION (continued from Fall 2019 issue) Louise Fisher moved to Williamsburg in 1930 when her husband accepted a professorship at the College of Wil- liam & Mary--arriving, so she said, with one truckload of furniture and two truckloads of flowers. Long an avid gar- dener, she became involved with flower arranging for Colonial Williamsburg when she became a hostess for the Raleigh Tavern, the first exhibition building opened in 1932. Fisher began providing flower arrangements for the Raleigh in order to give it a homey feel for visitors. By 1942, the job of arranging was sufficiently onerous, due to the number of open exhibition buildings, that Fisher became the first employee solely responsible for flower arrangement.
