October 15, 2026 Board of Supervisors Special Meeting

At the October 15, 2026 special meeting of the Nottoway County Board of Supervisors, procurement and capital-project discussions centered on the courthouse complex. A resident cited the English Construction agreement, which the board had approved on September 30, at $22,494,532 for the court complex; board members also referred to a combined courthouse and sheriff’s office project cost exceeding $33 million. The county discussed a conflict between the courthouse work and a radio-tower cable, noting that steel for a replacement tower had been ordered but work was being coordinated to protect communications and resolve permitting and engineering risks. Supervisors also held a public hearing on a zoning text amendment that would allow setback reductions for county-owned property and county projects; the transcript does not clearly record a vote adopting the amendment.

The board approved several funding actions: a $176,355.34 Math Innovation Grant carryover and a $117,000 Community Schools Grant award. A $1.35 million HVAC-related reimbursement was discussed as pass-through funding, and school security grant funds were described as supporting a security vestibule, radios, and AEDs without an additional Board of Supervisors match. Other approved appropriations included $32,028.60 in Virginia DMV Highway Safety Grant funding, a $1,000 Walmart-affiliated SPARK Good grant for the Sheriff’s Office, and a $2,446 increase to the health department’s FY27 allocation. Supervisors also approved a $1,000 contribution for Remote Area Medical. Other spending-related discussion included a proposed EMS/fire strategic-planning process focused on future sustainability and compensation, and debate over Pickett Park leases and potential economic-development uses; no related contract award was recorded.
