City Council approves Virgin Cross parks plan and addresses code conflicts

The Virgin Town Council made significant strides in enhancing local parks and recreation during their recent meeting on April 21, 2025. The council unanimously approved a request for proposals (RFP) for the Virgin Cross plan, aimed at improving parks, recreation, and open spaces in the community. This decision marks a pivotal step towards enriching the town's recreational offerings and fostering community engagement.

The motion to approve the RFP was met with swift support, highlighting the council's commitment to enhancing public spaces. "All in favor? Yes," confirmed one council member, signaling a strong consensus on the importance of this initiative.

In addition to the RFP approval, the council addressed ongoing challenges with the codification of local ordinances. A council member reported ongoing communication with Civic Plus, the company tasked with updating the town's code. They detailed the complexities involved in resolving conflicts within the existing code, particularly referencing a non-existent Chapter 50 that has caused confusion. "There is no chapter 50. Don't worry about it. Delete it," the member stated, emphasizing the need for clarity in the town's regulations.

These discussions reflect the council's proactive approach to both community development and governance, ensuring that Virgin remains a vibrant place for residents and visitors alike. The approval of the Virgin Cross plan is expected to lead to further enhancements in local parks, while the ongoing work with Civic Plus aims to streamline and clarify the town's legal framework.
