# Wythe County Board of Supervisors Meeting | October 13, 2026

The Wythe County Board of Supervisors met on October 13, 2026. Procurement and infrastructure items included approval to sell surplus EMS radios and related equipment to Bland County, and approval of water and sewer proposals to assess system capacity, contingent on the end user paying for the work. The board also approved issuing an RFP for engineering services to develop a courthouse-complex master plan; staff noted that the capital improvement plan anticipates nearly $4 million for courthouse improvements. The board discussed bond counsel services for the Dunford Road and Route 94 water project, with approximately $10.9 million in interim financing under consideration, including Rural Development loans of about $5.866 million and $5 million and a $2.7 million grant. A motion and second were recorded, but the transcript does not capture the vote outcome. The board approved accepting an award to expand AED access at athletic facilities and approved a Forest Service grant appropriation for a vehicle purchase. It also approved renewing the Rural Retreat Lake lease with the Department of Wildlife Resources for another five-year term.

The board continued its zoning review, including public concerns about data-center development and the proposed industrial classification of the ROG Partnership property. No change to that property’s draft zoning was made during the discussion; public input and further review remain part of the process. The board also discussed a certificate-of-public-need application for a CT scanner and a proposed letter of support, but the transcript does not clearly establish a final board action. No vendor selections or contract amounts were specified for the engineering or water/sewer work.
