Fluvanna County BOS September 16, 2026

The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on September 16, 2026, which included extensive public commentary primarily focused on concerns about the approval and oversight of a large natural gas power plant project by Tenaska, including issues related to water supply, noise, environmental impact, and infrastructure adequacy. The board discussed regulatory and permitting aspects of the project, including the shift from water cooling to air cooling, transmission line routing, and the need for supplemental reviews and enforceable conditions. There was also discussion about establishing an advisory group to address regional transmission issues. Additionally, the board considered a zoning text amendment to regulate electric transmission facilities, requiring special use permits and establishing related regulations. The meeting included presentations on local transit services and budget-related matters, such as the use of excess capital funds and water meter regulations. No formal votes on procurement contracts were detailed, but policy and regulatory decisions discussed could influence future procurement and infrastructure projects in the county.
