During the Goochland County Planning Commission meeting on September 18, 2025, community member Meredith Moses voiced strong support for the proposed Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) plan. Speaking to the board, Moses emphasized the benefits of TOD over traditional development options, particularly highlighting the importance of larger setbacks and buffers between residential areas and data centers.

Moses, a resident of Halls Road, argued that the TOD plan offers a more aesthetically pleasing and strategically developed environment, which aligns with the county's goals of maintaining its rural character while utilizing existing infrastructure. She expressed gratitude to the county officials for their efforts in considering plans that prioritize both development and community needs.

The discussion around the TOD plan reflects a broader commitment by Goochland County to balance growth with the preservation of its rural landscape. As the county continues to explore development options, the feedback from residents like Moses will play a crucial role in shaping future planning decisions. The Planning Commission's ongoing engagement with the community underscores its dedication to fostering a collaborative approach to development that benefits all stakeholders.
