# 10/26/2026 Board of Supervisors Pre-Meeting Dinner and Regular Meeting

At the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ October 26, 2026 dinner and regular meeting, the board heard Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and Foundation presentations. The commission reviewed funded and ongoing park improvements and discussed future capital priorities, including Aces Field and dugout replacement and Mann Road sidewalk extensions, estimated at about $175,000; no new county funding for these requests was approved. The newly established Foundation reported $4,025 in self-funding and estimated about $2,300 for FY28 website maintenance and promotional materials. It described fundraising goals that include a dog park, pavilion, trails, and an eventual community center. A grant opportunity of up to roughly $35,000 for Little League batting cages was also discussed, with no award decision reported.

The board approved a contract with Interstice Design PC for a county staffing and space study (Resolution R-2026-64). The contract amount was not stated; staff said a $28,000 funding gap would be covered from approximately $125,000 in savings on the company one expansion project, while the main funding had been included in the CIP. The board also approved a gross-receipts-based business license tax ordinance, effective January 1, 2027, and countywide zoning amendments addressing manufactured homes, solar facilities, high-energy-use facilities, parking, and home-based childcare. A District 5 rezoning item was deferred to December, and a campground conditional-use permit was approved. No other procurement award or new parks appropriation was identified.
