Committee votes to pursue study to shift Route 60 parcels toward light industrial uses
Summary
Powhatan County committee voted to pursue a study and mapping exercise to consider targeting a set of parcels along the Route 60 corridor for land‑use designations geared toward light industrial development and to form a subcommittee to refine the selections.
A Powhatan County committee voted to pursue a focused study to identify Route 60 corridor parcels that could be prioritized for light industrial or I‑1 uses as part of efforts to raise the county's commercial share of assessed value.
Committee member (speaker 7) moved that the group "pursue this idea of looking at certain number of parcels and seeing if we can move them to a different...designation geared toward industrial." The motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote; the Chair (speaker 2) called for "Aye" votes and recorded no opposition. Members emphasized the vote authorized study and mapping work, not an immediate rezoning of specific properties.
Members agreed the work would proceed with a small subcommittee (staff and several committee members) to refine parcel selections and produce GIS and spreadsheet materials for future meetings. The chair and staff reiterated that any subcommittee work must remain publicly accessible and recorded per open‑meetings practice.
