Wise County approves CDBG application to replace Riverview water line
Summary
The Wise County Board of Supervisors approved a Community Development Block Grant application to fund the first stage of a Riverview water-line replacement, described in the record as an upgrade of just over $2 million.
The Wise County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a Community Development Block Grant application for the Riverview water-line replacement, described during the meeting as stage one of a project totaling just over $2 million. Board members opened a public hearing on the proposal; no members of the public registered opposition during the hearing and the board moved forward with the application.
The grant application and project were noted by a supervisor during the meeting: “I want to uh thank Liscoco for this project in River Riverview, the uh over $2 million water line upgrade…That’s something good here in Wise County,” the supervisor said, praising the planned infrastructure work. The same speaker and others emphasized the project’s local benefit but did not provide additional technical detail or a construction timeline in the record.
The motion to approve the CDBG application was made, seconded and adopted by voice vote. The meeting record shows no formal dissent on the application. Next procedural steps for CDBG-funded projects — such as state review, award notifications and construction contracting — were not discussed in detail at the meeting.
The board also requested that staff provide additional documentation on the project scope and any required matching funds or permits at a future meeting.
