Gloucester County Virginia Board of Supervisors Live Stream

The Gloucester County Virginia Board of Supervisors held a meeting on June 2, 2026, which included significant procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement topics included the opening and review of bids for the Gloucester Volunteer Fire and Rescue Station One, with three close bids received and plans to move forward pending final agreements for borrowing funds and property transition. The board also conducted public hearings on two conditional use permit applications for utility-scale solar energy facilities, Fox Mill Solar and Daffodil Field Solar, each proposing about 50 acres of solar panels generating six megawatts. The board discussed environmental, fiscal, and community impacts, with conditions proposed to mitigate concerns such as no permanent structures or septic systems on site. Approval of these permits was deferred pending a future vote on associated siting agreements. Additionally, the board approved a 13% increase in water and sewer rates to fund capital improvements and system maintenance, generating approximately $710,000 in revenue. Other procurement-related actions included authorizing a resolution to support a USDA rural business development grant application for a sports complex feasibility study and approving a charter agreement for the Bay Consortium Local Workforce Development Area. The meeting concluded with a closed session regarding personnel matters for deputy county administrator and chief financial officer positions.
