# September 14, 2026 New Kent County Board of Supervisors Business Meeting

The New Kent County Board of Supervisors held a business meeting on September 14, 2026, addressing several procurement and infrastructure-related matters. Key procurement discussions included authorization to advertise an invitation for bid for the repair and reconstruction of a dam and spillway in the Wood Haven Shores neighborhood, with a rough project cost estimate of $2.5 million. The board also approved a local administration agreement for the Route 249 and Dispatch Road roundabout project, with approximately $8.7 million in funding secured from CBTA regional and local funds. Additionally, the board authorized an amendment to the economic development incentives agreement with BIES Newant LLC, adjusting the project timeline to December 31, 2029, while maintaining job and investment commitments. The board approved appropriations totaling over $1.4 million for New Kent County Public Schools, including carry-forward funds and additional state grant revenue for school-based mental health programs. A conditional use permit request for a landscaping contractor business with outdoor storage was deferred to address access easements and buffering concerns. The meeting also included updates on infrastructure projects, such as drainage improvements on Carter Road and the Elam Streetscape project, and discussions on funding sources including CVTA funds for infrastructure repairs. Motions related to these procurement and budget items were passed unanimously by the board members present.
