# Town Council Meeting - Oct. 27, 2026

At its October 27, 2026 meeting, the Christiansburg Town Council held public hearings on a conditional use permit for a towing service at 492 Kowanas Lane SE and the proposed sale of 5.335 acres of town-owned land at Huckleberry Park. Council heard concerns about noise, screening, and potential petroleum runoff near Crab Creek; the applicant described plans to fence the vehicle-storage area and use absorbent materials for leaks. No decision on the permit is recorded. The Huckleberry Park sale hearing was held before completion of a transaction Council had approved in April, according to the town attorney; no new vote on the sale is recorded at this meeting.

On the consent agenda, Council approved a $2,446,500 construction contract with Omen [name unclear] Construction LLC for the wastewater treatment facility digester boiler and heat-exchange building project, a related design-consulting award of $294,100 (vendor unclear in the transcript), and a $175,000 resident project representative task order to CHA Consulting, Inc. The consent agenda passed on a 6–0 roll call. Separately, Council voted 4–2 to retain the community-support grant rule limiting organizations to funding in three out of five years. Staff said work on the five-year capital plan is underway and proposed a capital-project update for the November 18 work session; the transcript also notes that no funds are currently budgeted for a fire-department sanitizing station, which is being considered in a funded space-utilization study.
