Wise County Board of Supervisors August 2026 Regular Meeting

The Wise County Board of Supervisors held their regular meeting on August 6, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the ongoing search for a county administrator, with the board considering hiring the Beckley Group, a recruitment firm, to assist in the process. The board planned virtual meetings in early September to engage with the firm and define the candidate profile. Additionally, the board discussed a purchase agreement for the former J.B. Kelly School property, with the Industrial Development Authority interested in acquiring it for $250,000, which would add revenue to the county. The board also addressed the fire rescue allocation payment schedule, deciding to table the matter until September after further discussions with fire rescue representatives regarding cash flow concerns. Several motions were passed, including approval of the consent agenda and appointments to vacant seats, but no final decisions were made on the county administrator recruitment or fire rescue payments during this meeting.
