December 29, 2025 Board of Supervisors Special Meeting

The December 29, 2025 special meeting of the Nottoway County Virginia Board of Supervisors focused primarily on a proposed land acquisition involving 183 acres near Fort Pickett. The discussion centered on negotiating the purchase price, which was increased to $11,000 per acre, and ensuring the land use would be compatible with the military mission. The Ward Burton Foundation was the prospective buyer, with the county considering zoning and deed restrictions to prevent incompatible development such as gas stations or tall structures that could interfere with military training. The board discussed funding sources, tax implications, and the importance of preserving the military base's operational integrity while fostering economic development. A motion was made and seconded to sell the property to the Ward Burton Foundation for $2,130,000, reflecting a strategic effort to support both the military mission and local economic interests. Additional topics included infrastructure considerations, historic preservation concerns, and potential future development aligned with military compatibility.
