King George BOS and BOD 08/18/2026

The King George County Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors met on August 18, 2026, discussing a range of community and infrastructure issues. Key procurement-related topics included updates on water and wastewater system projects, such as the Perkins Corner water main and force main project nearing completion and the ongoing wastewater treatment plant upgrades at Hopyard. The board received a report on a $3.5 million grant awarded by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for wastewater infrastructure improvements, with discussions on potentially using these funds to pay off existing bonds. The meeting also covered negotiations with developers of data centers regarding water and wastewater services, including concerns about Amazon's significant groundwater withdrawal permit application. Additionally, the board addressed road acceptance into the state system, specifically the Cedric Crossing road, and discussed the Dog and Railroad Heritage Trail's potential integration into Caledon State Park, with considerations for equestrian access and community input. The board approved acceptance of a donation from the Cheedel estate for the animal shelter and discussed economic development initiatives supporting local restaurants and food trucks. No new contracts or RFPs were explicitly awarded during the meeting, but several capital improvement projects and grant-funded infrastructure upgrades were highlighted as ongoing or forthcoming.
