Commissioners discuss nuisance-property ordinance and broadband rollout
Summary
Commissioners heard Member Maggie Asbury describe efforts with a Board of Supervisors member to draft a nuisance-property ordinance addressing litter and dilapidated buildings, and received an update that Point Broadband coverage is expected to reach full deployment in about six months.
Member Maggie Asbury told the commission she and Board of Supervisors member Shannon Plaster are working on an ordinance to address litter and dilapidated buildings, and said there are grants available to help cover cleanup costs. Asbury said she has contacted the sheriff's office and encouraged consulting enforcement personnel and Elizabeth Bennett to ensure proposed language will be enforceable.
On broadband, County Attorney Chase Collins reported that the Cumberland Plateau effort is working to bring Point Broadband to 100% coverage within six months, in response to Vice Chairman Robert "Bob" Moss's questions about Dominion Energy and Point Broadband. Member Jason Herndon raised separate concerns about a solar project and a 'no zoning' letter but no formal actions were recorded on those items.
No formal motions or votes were recorded on the nuisance-property initiative or the broadband report; both items were discussed under "Member Concerns" for follow-up at subsequent meetings.
