The Bland County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously May 28 to approve its consent agenda, appropriate two small grants and schedule a follow-up meeting to adopt the county's fiscal year 2025 budget.
The board approved consent items that included payroll and vendor payments and the Bland County School Board's June 2024 requisition of $1,112,984.67.
