Residents raise environmental and construction concerns during public comment

Henrico County Board of Supervisors · May 12, 2026

Summary

Public commenters voiced environmental concerns about proposed developments and raised issues about construction on Laburnum Avenue; the Board heard comments but took no immediate policy action on these public comments.

During the public-comment period and the Bacova hearing, residents raised concerns about environmental impacts and local construction. Jennifer Lieberman (Tuckahoe District) spoke about environmental worries related to proposed development; Maria Barton and another Three Chopt resident raised traffic and cut‑through concerns tied to the Bacova request. Paul Malmquist (Fairfield District) commented on construction activity on Laburnum Avenue.

Board members heard the comments; several items tied to public concerns were deferred to allow additional review or were scheduled for future consideration (for example, the Bacova rezoning was deferred to June 9, 2026). No formal policy changes were adopted during the public‑comment period.
