Nottoway supervisors approve rezoning requests and adopt resolutions backing local school tax option, opposing mandatory collective bargaining
Summary
The board unanimously approved rezoning requests for Cox Road and a 65‑acre LRA parcel, adopted a resolution supporting legislation to allow a local 1% school construction sales tax, and passed a separate resolution opposing mandatory collective bargaining for local governments.
The Nottoway County Board of Supervisors approved several routine land‑use items and two policy resolutions during its March meeting.
On land use, the board approved a rezoning request for property owned by Dr. Aaron Carr on Cox Road (Tax Map 43‑42) to rural residential following a planning staff recommendation and a 10–0 planning commission vote. The board also approved a rezoning for a roughly 65–67 acre LRA parcel near the Fort Pickett gate; staff noted the parcel contains existing structures including a visitor center and a broadband substation and recommended approval after notifying adjacent owners.
On policy items, the board unanimously adopted a resolution supporting House Bill 334 and Senate Bill 607, legislation that would authorize localities to impose an additional sales and use tax of up to 1% for school construction subject to voter referendum. The board directed staff to forward the resolution to VACo and the county's General Assembly delegation.
The board also unanimously approved a resolution opposing mandatory collective bargaining legislation (HB1263/SB378) that, according to the resolution text, would remove local option, create a statewide bargaining framework administered by a public employee relations board, and impose potential unfunded mandates on local governments.
Both resolutions passed on 4–0 recorded votes; no citizen speakers opposed those resolutions during the meeting.
The board's land‑use approvals and resolutions will be transmitted to appropriate agencies and posted in the county records.
