EDA moves to recommend edits to Comprehensive Plan's economic development section
Summary
The authority discussed and moved to recommend edits to the economic development portion of the county Comprehensive Plan, including adding data-center language, changing a word from "artificial" to "transient," and adding a strategy to "work with industry experts." The transcript records the motion but does not record a vote outcome.
At its Nov. 7 meeting the King and Queen County Economic Development Authority reviewed proposed edits to the economic development chapter of the county Comprehensive Plan and moved to forward recommended changes to the Planning Commission for consideration.
Kelly Evko, a staff member, summarized staff recommendations reflecting the county's changed fiscal status and proposed language edits. Members discussed specific edits: replacing the term "artificial" with "transient" in one passage, adding a section addressing data centers, and inserting "work with industry experts" under the future strategies bullets.
Jesse Holmes moved to recommend the proposed changes to the Planning Commission; Joseph McGuire seconded the motion. The transcript records the motion and second but does not record a vote or the final outcome of the authority's motion.
The authority noted these changes are intended to update the plan text to reflect current fiscal and industry considerations. The transcript does not specify whether the Planning Commission has scheduled a hearing or a timeline for its review.
