July 16, 2026 Board of Supervisors Meeting

The Nottoway County Board of Supervisors held their regular meeting on July 16, 2026, where significant procurement and budget discussions took place. The board approved several rezoning requests and special exceptions related to solar energy projects developed by C Solar LLC, including the Little Mountain and Sunnyside solar farms. These projects involved setback reductions and community engagement efforts, with conditions such as sight distance easements and environmental protections. The board also discussed the sale of county-owned properties, approving offers for several parcels including Crystal Lake lots and the annex building. Budget matters included the approval of a $659,425 budget amendment to meet state-required local effort for schools, and a 3.5% salary increase funded partially by state reimbursement. The board considered but did not pass a one-time bonus ordinance for eligible employees. Additionally, the board discussed the upcoming special election and potential appointment for a vacant district seat, and the possibility of a 1% local sales tax referendum dedicated to school construction and renovation. Community concerns about tax increases, infrastructure, and economic development were also addressed throughout the meeting.
