Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors Meeting

The Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on July 27, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. Key discussions included approval of carryover grants for the school system and a $2.69 million transfer to the capital fund for FY27 projects, with $2.44 million related to FY26 projects carried forward. The board reviewed and approved a special exception permit for Boundary Line Lane LLC to develop a contractor's equipment storage yard and shop office, contingent on various regulatory approvals. They also adopted zoning text amendments and revised fee schedules for community development services, with some debate on fee structures and their impact on economic development. A significant agenda item was the ordinance to remove the Goan First Aid Crew from the county's emergency response plan due to leadership and financial concerns, transitioning EMS services to a county-operated career staffing model; the board approved this measure despite some reluctance. Additionally, the board designated interim co-county administrators with supplemental compensation and discussed ongoing regional jail facility planning. Motions related to financial appropriations, contract approvals, and policy changes were passed throughout the meeting.
