Greene County approves $12 million state grant for water projects
Summary
After a public hearing, the Greene County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a supplemental appropriation to accept and spend a $12,000,000 Commonwealth of Virginia grant for county water projects to continue planned infrastructure work.
The Greene County Board of Supervisors voted on June 13 to appropriate a $12,000,000 grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia to continue county water projects.
County staff summarized the item at a public hearing called by the board. "We have $12,000,000 that we're very fortunate to have gotten from the state," said Miss Shafferick, the staff member who presented the item, explaining that the amount exceeds the board's 1% appropriation threshold and therefore required a public hearing and formal appropriation.
No members of the public signed up to comment during the hearing. After brief board discussion, a motion to adopt the supplemental appropriation carried on a roll-call vote, with board members recorded as voting in favor.
The appropriation will be applied to ongoing water system projects the county described as active in the staff report. The board's action provides the legal authority to spend the grant in fiscal year 2026; details about which specific projects will receive the funds and their implementation timeline were not specified in the meeting record and will be reflected in subsequent project-level documents and staff reports.
The board closed the hearing and adopted the appropriation by roll call; there were no recorded votes against the measure. The board did not receive public opposition at the hearing.
The board will continue routine oversight of the water projects through staff updates and future agenda items tied to project contracts and schedules.
