The Grayson County Board of Supervisors voted on multiple administrative items affecting county disaster planning, interjurisdictional cooperation and a short discontinued state highway segment.
The board held the required public hearing under state law on a discontinued segment of Route 660 and, after no public comments, approved a resolution to close the segment and move forward with the surplus right-of-way process identified in a VDOT letter.

Separately the board approved the Mount Rogers Planning District Regional Pre-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Plan, a five-year administrative plan that the county must adopt to remain eligible for certain federal disaster-related funding.
The board also approved a standard mutual aid agreement that clarifies the procedures for sharing law-enforcement personnel and resources with neighboring jurisdictions, including Carroll County and Wythe County.
