The Buckingham County Board of Supervisors met November 10, 2026. The board approved the minutes and claims. A school budget amendment was approved to account for funding tied to tennis-court resurfacing and employee bonuses; the court project cost $153,550, with $133,995 reimbursed by the insurer. School officials said the amendment uses funds already received and does not request additional county funding. The school director also reported that higher fuel costs had increased expenses by $116,500 since July 1 and could affect county and school budgets. County staff reported completed paving and road work, with grading and stone work planned for Happy Hollow and Logan roads. For a town-led traffic-calming study, the lower of two bids was reported as $2,500 rather than $3,000; the county’s expected share would be half, saving it $250.

The board approved a resolution allowing the county to receive additional opioid-settlement funds, including funds from Albertsons, and appointed Douglas Gregory to the Piedmont Regional Jail Board. Regarding Virginia’s forthcoming retail marijuana sales program, the board authorized advertising a December public hearing on a proposed 3.5% local sales tax, directed staff to prepare proposals on business registration and sales hours, designated the county administrator to receive state licensing notices, and initiated zoning amendments for referral to the Planning Commission. These actions begin local review; the tax and proposed ordinances were not finally adopted at this meeting.
