Residency administrator outlines county Secondary Six-Year Plan, funding constraints noted
Summary
Residency Administrator Crystal Smith reviewed Dinwiddie County's Secondary Six-Year Plan, detailing two primary funding streams (Telefee ~ $59,000/year and unpaved-road funds $82,000–$95,000/year), project status, and next steps including an April presentation and a May public hearing.
Crystal Smith, Residency Administrator, presented the County's Secondary Six-Year Plan and described its funding structure and project schedule. She said the plan relies on Telefee funds — about $59,000 annually — which the county can generally use at its discretion, and unpaved-road funds — about $82,000 to $95,000 annually — that are restricted to paving gravel roads. She listed completed projects (Tranquility Lane and Cherry Hill Road), projects in progress (Quaker Road), and upcoming work (Reese Road), and noted minor corrective work is needed on some recently finished projects.
Smith told the Board that some projects cannot proceed until their funding becomes available; she named Shippings Road and Goose Pond Road as delayed and said Spain Drive remains unfunded beyond the current plan period. She recommended reserving Telefee funds for future needs and outlined the procedural next steps: a staff presentation to the Board in April, a public hearing in May (with required advance advertisement), and a resolution to follow. She also noted that the Board may reintroduce a previously removed project if it chooses.
