2026.05.12 - Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting at 7 p.m.

The Bedford County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on May 12, 2026, which included several procurement and development-related discussions. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a special use permit amendment for a residential development project increasing townhouse units from 53 to 66. The board reviewed traffic impact studies, school capacity concerns, and community feedback, including opposition related to infrastructure and neighborhood compatibility. The board ultimately approved the amendment with conditions including buffer zones and open space preservation. Additionally, the board considered zoning text amendments to permit tow truck services and intermodal freight containers with specific standards and approved these changes unanimously. The meeting also featured a public hearing on the VDOT secondary six-year plan for road construction projects, with updates on funding and project timelines. Finally, the board reviewed the proposed fiscal year 2026-27 county and school budgets, including new positions and capital projects, with no immediate action taken. The Sheriff 911 building project was announced as out for bid with submissions due June 23, 2026.
