The James City County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on November 13, 2024, where community members voiced their support for the Niceland Farm event venue and tourist home. Gary Massey, a local resident, spoke passionately in favor of Special Use Permit (SUP) 24-0021, highlighting the significant improvements made by the Nice family to the property.

Massey described his recent visit to Niceland Farm, noting the transformation of the 73-acre site and its agricultural potential. He emphasized the quality of the restoration work done on the barn, comparing it to the renowned Colonial Williamsburg. Massey encouraged the Board members to visit the farm themselves to appreciate the craftsmanship and the positive impact it has on the community.

The discussion around the Niceland Farm venue reflects ongoing efforts to enhance local tourism and support agricultural initiatives in the area. The Board's consideration of the special use permit will determine the future of this venue and its role in the community.

As the meeting concluded, the Board acknowledged the importance of community input in decision-making processes, indicating that further discussions on the Niceland Farm proposal would continue in future sessions.
