BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WORK SESSION

The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors held a work session on May 19, 2026, focusing on several key procurement and capital improvement topics. The meeting included a detailed update on the Danville Regional Airport, highlighting ongoing and planned infrastructure projects totaling approximately $5 million, including erosion control, hanger development, and an aviation training facility in partnership with local educational institutions. The board also reviewed mandated zoning ordinance changes related to wireless structures, manufactured housing, solar energy facilities, and battery storage systems, with discussions on how these changes would impact local land use and permitting processes. Additionally, the county fee schedule was reviewed with proposed modest increases to keep pace with inflation and rising operational costs, including adjustments to landfill tipping fees and pet center services. The capital improvement plan was presented, emphasizing significant upcoming expenditures such as courthouse construction, water and sewer projects, and solid waste facility upgrades, with a recommendation to prioritize projects with known funding due to the uncertain courthouse costs. The session concluded with a motion to enter closed session for discussions on prospective business development, legal matters, and real property acquisition.
