With no public speakers, the board approved VDOT's request to abandon 0.08 miles of Route 57 and approved two rezoning applications: R-25-19 (Bittersweet LLC) for 0.6 acres to B-3 office/professional and R-25-20 (Joshua Blancas) for ~1.3 acres to limited industrial I-2; planning staff and commission recommended approval in each case.
The Henry County Board of Supervisors took three land-use actions Dec. 16 after hearing staff presentations and holding public hearings with no speakers.

Planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval; the board approved the rezoning 5–1 absent.
