03-16-2026 Appomattox Board of Supervisors Meeting RESUMED after power outage

The Appomattox County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on March 16, 2026, which resumed after a power outage. A significant portion of the discussion focused on whether the county should join an amicus brief opposing a redistricting effort currently before the Virginia Supreme Court. The board debated the fairness and financial implications of contributing up to $10,000 toward legal fees, with some members expressing concern about spending taxpayer money on a matter unlikely to influence the court's decision. Ultimately, a motion to join the amicus brief was made and seconded, with the vote passing despite some opposition. Additionally, supervisors discussed forming a joint working group with the town to address water and sewer infrastructure issues and considered drafting a resolution opposing the Valley Link project. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session to consult legal counsel regarding the possible transfer of water and sewer utilities to the town of Atlantic.
