Blacksburg native Krisha Chachra recently secured a seat on Blacksburg’s town council. Chachra ran on a platform that focused on promoting smart growth while protecting local charm.
Having studied at the College of William & Mary and American University, Chachra felt drawn back to Blacksburg to get her doctorate at Virginia Tech and to also give back to the community that she feels gave her so much.
As a student in the Urban Development and Planning Department, Chachra spends her time studying as well as working with creative programming in the New River Valley in hopes to create a more close-knit community of creative professionals in the area.
