Town and County Prepare for Public Hearings on Boundary Line Adjustment Process

The Accomack County Board of Supervisors meeting on August 20, 2025, focused on the procedural details surrounding boundary line adjustments (BLAs). A BLA is a formal process that necessitates collaboration between the town and the county. Key steps include notifying affected property owners, conducting public hearings, and entering into a BLA agreement, which must ultimately receive approval from the circuit court.

This process is distinct from annexation, highlighting the specific legal framework governing property boundary changes. The discussion emphasized the importance of transparency and community involvement in the BLA process, ensuring that residents are informed and have opportunities to voice their opinions.

The meeting underscored the Board's commitment to following established legal protocols while addressing property boundary issues. Further steps will involve coordinating with local stakeholders to facilitate the BLA process effectively.
