Resident asks Nelson County for town-hall on proposed Roseland Apartments project

NELSON COUNTY, Va. Ryan Morris, who gave his address as 319 Saint James Church Road in Roseland, used the Sept. 9 evening meeting of the Nelson County Board of Supervisors to request a town-hall meeting about the proposed Roseland Apartments project. Morris said he and other community members "are just now learning of the proposed subdivide subsidized housing project" and asked for organized communication to "learn more about the project while addressing community concerns." Morris requested a town-hall style meeting with the West District supervisor and, if possible, representation from the Nelson County Community Development Foundation. He described his stance as neutral and said the project "will certainly have some impact on the area." The request came during the meeting's public-comment period; no other public speakers signed up that evening, and no action or formal direction on the request was recorded in the meeting minutes. The transcript does not include specifics about the projectsuch as developer, parcel ID, number of units, funding sources, or application status; those details were not provided by Morris or county staff during the public-comment period and therefore are not reported here.
