Ward Boundary Commission - August 31, 2026

The City of Morgantown's Ward Boundary Commission met on August 31, 2026, to review and adjust ward boundary maps. The commission focused on making fine adjustments to existing boundaries to ensure contiguity, compactness, and neighborhood integrity while balancing voter populations across wards. They discussed specific boundary lines along Decker Creek Trail, College Avenue, and other local landmarks, aiming to keep voter counts within a 15% deviation from the average. The commission approved a motion to accept the map with refinements to be made by staff to ensure boundaries do not bisect parcels improperly. The updated maps and statistics will be incorporated into a report for City Council, with a target to finalize the report and verbal boundary descriptions by late September. No direct procurement or contracting actions were taken during this meeting.
