Buckingham supervisors adopt updated comprehensive plan
Summary
After a public hearing and brief comments from residents, the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the county's comprehensive plan as presented and closed the related public hearing; supervisors said the plan preserves rural character while allowing future amendments.
The Buckingham County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the county's updated comprehensive plan after a public hearing where residents praised the plan's emphasis on sustainable growth and preserving rural character. Supervisor Cameron Gillum moved for adoption and the board approved the plan as presented.
At the public hearing Clerk (speaker 11) called two speakers: Kendah Hahnemann expressed appreciation that earlier public comments were incorporated, saying the document "is a living document and it can change," and Marie Flowers told the board she had difficulty accessing the plan at the public library and urged that printed copies be made available. "I think it should be there," Flowers said, urging broader public access.
Supporters on the board said the plan preserves important forestry and agricultural land while allowing for future amendments. The board closed the hearing and passed the motion to adopt the plan; staff said the plan remains amendable and will guide future land-use decisions. The board scheduled the implementation and follow-ups through routine planning processes.
