A long-serving planning commission member announced their intent to retire effective April 1 after 35 years with Fauquier County and said county attorney Jordan Bowman will handle the March meeting; the commissioner will attend through March.

A planning commission member announced at the Jan. 21 work session that they notified County Administrator Janelle Downs of their intention to retire, effective April 1, after 35 years with Fauquier County. The speaker said they began part-time in 1991, became permanent part-time in 1992, and described service on the planning commission as "an honor and a privilege." The speaker said they will attend the February and March meetings and that attorney Jordan Bowman of Litton and Sipe will handle the March meeting.

Why it matters: The departure will create an upcoming vacancy on the Fauquier County Planning Commission and shifts meeting coverage for March to the county's retained attorney. The commission acknowledged the announcement with expressions of thanks.

The work session did not record a formal vote related to the retirement beyond the announcement; no replacement was named during the session.
