Something wrong here?

If you know something on this page is wrong, say so. A person at County Voice reads each one. One that checks out is corrected here, with the date. The county’s and the state’s own records aren’t changed.

Never shown on the site, and not used for anything else.

Disagreeing with a decision isn’t a correction. To be heard on one, see what’s coming up.

How county business is taken up

A purchase, a grant, a project or a plan has no fixed steps the way a permit or a rule change does. It comes to a board when there is something to report or decide, and it can come back several times.

A board acts by a motion and a vote at a public meeting, and its minutes record what was moved and how each member voted.

The law: Va. Code § 2.2-3707 (Meetings to be public; notice of meetings; recordings; minutes). This describes the general process, not this decision.
