The Powhatan County Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission voted 5-0 June 4 to adopt a recommendation to expand the department's naming and renaming policy to include all county facilities.
Sarah Barnett, deputy county administrator, described the change as a move to "streamline" the process for naming requests across county buildings and parks. Frank Flannagan made the motion to adopt the recommendation; Alex Higgins seconded. The motion passed unanimously with five votes in favor.
Commissioners said the broader policy is intended to provide a single, predictable process for residents and organizations that seek to name or rename county assets.

The commission did not specify an implementation schedule during the meeting. Staff and commission members discussed follow-up but did not set a formal deadline for the policy rollout.
