Town manager outlines multiple projects: town square, courts, meters and lights
Summary
Town Manager Matt Spuck updated the council on ARPA-funded Town Square plans, basketball court upgrades, Sunset Park completion, wayfinding and streetlight replacements, and shipment of 800 water meters expected by end of July 2025.
Town Manager Matt Spuck provided a summary of ongoing and upcoming projects across Onancock. Bill Burnham of the Tree Board reviewed a concept drawing for Town Square and the gazebo; the project is ARPA-funded and the next Tree Board meeting is scheduled for June 11, 2025.
Staff reported that DPW began grading the basketball court and will complete base work before a contractor paves; residents were told an event scheduled for June 21 will move to the Historic Onancock School while upgrades proceed. Sunset Park is largely complete pending bollard installation and a quote to seal and stripe the parking lot for 90-degree parking.
Spuck said footers for the entry sign are being installed and wayfinding sign content recommendations were received from VDOT; Councilmember Holdren cautioned that nine signs may be excessive for a small town. The council also reviewed streetlight deliveries for Town Square and plans to replace Queen Street cobra-head lights with dark-sky‑compliant fixtures.
On utilities, Spuck told the council that setters and boxes for 800 new water meters have shipped and delivery is slated for the end of July 2025; coordination with HRSD on making meters "live" is ongoing.
