Commission on Local Government approves Martinsville-Henry County VSA report
Summary
The Commission on Local Government approved the Martinsville-Henry County Voluntary Settlement Agreement draft report with technical amendments; the report, which addresses the potential reversion of Martinsville to town status, will be sent to a three-judge panel for final disposition.
The Commission on Local Government approved a draft report on the Martinsville-Henry County Voluntary Settlement Agreement (VSA) at its Oct. 15, 2021 meeting in Henrico.
Staff presented the VSA report, which addresses a proposed reversion of the City of Martinsville to town status within Henry County. David Conmy, Local Government Administrator at the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), told the Commission the approved report would be submitted to a three-judge panel for final disposition. Conmy also said staff is aware of two potential boundary line/reversion/annexation cases that may come before the Commission in 2022 but provided no further details citing confidentiality.
R. Michael Amyx moved to approve the Martinsville-Henry County VSA report with technical amendments; Dr. Ceasor T. Johnson seconded the motion. The Commission voted to approve the report (the transcript records that the motion passed; no vote tally was provided in the meeting record).
The Commission’s approval advances the draft report to the next procedural step: review by a three-judge panel that will make the final determination. Staff and Commission members did not provide further public details about the pending 2022 cases during the meeting.
