Patrick County EDA convenes closed meeting under Virginia code to discuss Blue Ridge commercial property
Summary
The Economic Development Authority entered and reconvened from a closed meeting under Virginia Code § 2.2-3711(A) to discuss commercial real estate in the Blue Ridge District, then attested by roll call that only that matter was discussed.
At its Jan. 5, 2026 special called meeting, the Economic Development Authority of Patrick County entered a closed meeting to discuss commercial real estate located in the Blue Ridge District, citing Virginia Code § 2.2-3711(A).
The motion to enter the closed meeting was made by Danny Foley and seconded by Doss Cummings; it carried unanimously. After the closed session, the Authority reconvened on a unanimous motion, took a roll-call vote and affirmed that only the listed item had been discussed while in closed session. The minutes record the statutory citation used to justify the closed meeting but do not disclose the discussion details, consistent with closed-session practice.
The board’s subsequent public action—approving the submission of a Sale & Purchase Agreement for the property—followed immediately after the reconvened session. The minutes do not provide additional substantive discussion notes from the closed session.
