Crewe records no objection to moving Elam Agnew historical sign to Burkeville
Summary
At the request of a Burkeville council member, Crewe voted to register that it had no objection to relocating an Elam Agnew historical sign from Hooper Park in Crewe to a location in Burkeville; council discussed visibility and safety concerns and asked that the sign be sited where visitors can safely pull off 460.
Billy Ray Thompson, a council member from Burkeville, asked Crewe Council for a recorded statement that Crewe had no objection to moving an existing Elam Agnew historical sign from Hooper Park in Crewe to Burkeville. Thompson explained the sign ties to Burkeville history and sought Crewe's cooperation so Burkeville could coordinate with VDOT and the Virginia historical program.
Council discussed preferred locations and safety considerations for visitor access; one council member noted that signs on highways should be placed where people can pull off safely. The council moved and approved a motion recording that it had no objection to moving the sign to a Burkeville‑selected location. The council did not specify a final relocation site or a schedule; Thompson said he would follow up with the Board of Supervisors and Virginia historical authorities as needed.
The record indicates Crewe's vote was to register no objection; any subsequent state or county approvals and exact installation logistics remain the responsibility of Burkeville and the relevant state agencies.
