# Wise County Board of Supervisors November 2026 Regular Meeting

The Wise County Board of Supervisors’ November 2026 regular meeting on November 13 included updates on county technology and public comment. The IT director presented a proposed approach to responsible AI use, including a draft county AI policy, use of Microsoft Copilot already available under county licensing, and six-month policy reviews. Copilot Pro or an equivalent for IT staff could involve additional usage-based costs; staff said those costs would be evaluated against benefits if pursued. No purchase or spending approval was presented. The GIS department reported indoor and floor-level mapping work for Next Generation 911, covering 72 buildings, with the data and software available and system implementation expected in about a month; no related contract or expenditure was discussed.

During public expression, speakers urged a pause on data-center development and raised concerns about public infrastructure spending and tax incentives related to the Project Maverick site. A speaker also referenced a nearly $150,000 feasibility study concerning advanced nuclear energy. Other comments addressed road markings and repairs, recycling, school debt, and county cost savings through joint purchasing with other counties. These were public comments, not board decisions. No procurement awards, bids, or spending motions were identified; the board voted to enter closed session for public-funds investment, legal consultation, and personnel matters.
