The Appomattox County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on April 20, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board approved a resolution to ratify a countywide burn ban due to severe drought conditions. They also scheduled a public hearing for the FY2027 consolidated county school and DSS budget, with a proposed budget amount of approximately $59.8 million. The board approved a transfer of $23,662 as a local match for a School Resource Officer grant. Additionally, the board considered and approved adding a portion of Somerset Drive to the state secondary road system. A significant agenda item was a presentation by the Appomattox FFA Alumni Association requesting $100,000 in county financial support to complete a multi-purpose agricultural education building, which would leverage a matching grant from the Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission. The board also appointed a new member to the Economic Development Authority and approved a new logo for the county's dispatch services. Discussions included concerns about a proposed landfill project and ongoing infrastructure and community development efforts. No new contracts or RFP awards were explicitly mentioned, but several budget appropriations and capital improvement projects were addressed.
