Wise County Board approves routine business, budget amendments and appointments; backs expressway grant letters and records opposition to two House bills
Summary
At its Feb. 12 meeting the board approved routine minutes and consent items, adopted budget amendments as presented, appointed Mark Thompson to the Community Policy and Management Board, approved letters supporting two Virginia Coalfield Expressway grant applications, and directed staff to place resolutions opposing House Bills 1374 and 1377 on the record.
The Wise County Board of Supervisors cleared a series of routine items Feb. 12, approving minutes from earlier January meetings and the consent agenda by voice vote. The board approved budget amendments as presented and recorded motions to appoint Mark Thompson as director on the Community Policy and Management Board.
The chair presented two grant opportunities tied to the Virginia Coalfield Expressway — described as a $25,000,000 grant and a $5,000,000 grant — and the board moved to send letters of support for those grant applications before the submission deadline. Board members also discussed and placed on the record resolutions opposing House Bill 1374 and House Bill 1377, bills the board said would restructure the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and its boards; members asked staff to prepare the opposition resolutions.
Other routine business included reappointing members to boards and setting logistics for a recessed meeting to finalize tax rates. All routine motions reported in the transcript were carried by voice vote; specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the provided segment.
