The September 10, 2026, Nottoway County Board of Supervisors Worksession focused on several community and operational issues with significant procurement and budget implications. Key discussions included a proposal from Grace and Guidance Childcare to lease space in the old B Elementary School to provide much-needed childcare services for local working families, particularly those employed at nearby state facilities. The board discussed potential facility renovations, lease terms, and coordination with the school system for transportation. Another major topic was the consideration of bonuses for county employees, especially those in the Department of Social Services, with detailed budgetary impacts and the need for ordinance adoption by the end of September. The board also deliberated on emergency medical services (EMS) and fire department staffing and ambulance coverage, highlighting the financial and operational challenges of maintaining multiple ambulances and the potential for consolidating services to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Additionally, the board reviewed options for closing some convenience centers to save costs and discussed a letter to Congress supporting country-of-origin labeling for beef products. The meeting concluded with plans for further work sessions to address EMS coordination and budget amendments related to grants and employee compensation.
