August 13, 2026 Board of Supervisors Worksession

At its August 13, 2026 worksession, the Nottoway County, Virginia Board of Supervisors discussed a proposal to identify and map historic sites and cemeteries, potentially through a county ordinance and a historic preservation committee. Supervisors discussed voluntary, case-by-case participation by property owners, preservation concerns around a 675-acre property for sale on Highway 49, and possible tax credits for historic-building preservation. No ordinance or related spending decision was approved; the board indicated that further review and a public hearing would be needed for an ordinance.

The board also discussed changing the meeting agenda to move department and constitutional-officer reports later, and scheduled discussion of a District 3 vacancy for the following week. It approved a motion to enter closed session under Virginia Code § 2.2-3711(A)(29) to discuss the award of a public contract involving public funds, including bidders or offerors and contract terms or scope, specifically regarding emergency services. The transcript records approval to enter closed session but no contract award, vendor selection, amount, or subsequent action.
