05-18-2026 Appomattox Board of Supervisors Meeting

The Appomattox County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on May 18, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board adopted a resolution to participate in the Central Virginia Safe Streets and Roads program, aiming to reduce fatal and serious traffic accidents, which could enable eligibility for federal safety funds. They also approved moving the tax due date to June 22, 2026, to provide residents more time for payment. The board reviewed and adopted the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) secondary six-year plan for fiscal years 2027 to 2032 and the secondary system construction budget for fiscal year 2027, discussing priorities for rural rustic road projects and potential funding mechanisms. Additionally, the board considered an amendment to the tax exemption ordinance for elderly and disabled persons, increasing income thresholds for relief. There was also discussion about reinstating a countywide burn ban due to dry conditions, with plans for the county administrator to declare the ban and formalize it at the next meeting. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting focused on infrastructure planning, budget appropriations, and policy decisions affecting future procurement and funding opportunities.
