Wythe County Board of Supervisors Meeting | July 28, 2026

The Wythe County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on July 28, 2026, which included extensive public commentary primarily focused on concerns about data centers and land use zoning. The board discussed the site plan and fencing approval for a new data center project by Fluid Stack in Progress Park, with presentations from the developer's engineering team. The board approved the site plan and fencing as consistent with Progress Park covenants. Additionally, the board considered budget amendments, including a $325,000 capital improvement project for new basketball and pickleball courts at Asia Park, with discussion about funding and project scope. The board also approved a sole source purchase of an armored vehicle for the sheriff's office and accepted a $1,000 donation. There was significant public demand for countywide zoning ordinances to regulate data centers and protect farmland and water resources, reflecting community concerns about environmental impact, transparency, and economic effects. The board scheduled further public engagement meetings on zoning and emphasized the need for accurate information and community involvement. No votes were taken to approve zoning ordinances during this meeting, but the board expressed intent to move forward with public outreach and careful consideration of land use policies.
