2026.07.28 - Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting at 7 p.m.

The Bedford County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on July 28, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included the approval of a resolution to transfer a hospice house property and building to Good Samaritan Hospice, ensuring continued hospice services in the community. The board also considered a rezoning application by West Bridge Holdings LLC for a waterfront apartment development, which was ultimately denied due to traffic and community concerns. Additionally, the board approved amendments to the fiscal year 2026-2027 school and county budgets, including cost of living adjustments and additional state revenues, as well as authorization to issue employee bonuses funded by state provisions. A small ordinance was approved to allow off-duty law enforcement officers to engage in employment requiring police powers, enhancing public safety event management. The meeting also included a presentation on water management at Smith Mountain Lake by Appalachian Power Company, though this was informational rather than procurement-related.
