Board initiates abandonment process for stretch of South Center Drive at Altec's request
Summary
At Altec Industries’ request, the Board adopted a resolution initiating the formal VDOT process under Virginia Code §33.2‑909 to abandon a portion of South Center Drive to allow Altec to expand parking; staff will post notices, determine fair market/contributory value, and schedule a final hearing within four months of the posting period.
Economic Development Director Kyle Rosner presented a resolution of intention to begin the formal abandonment process for a portion of South Center Drive adjacent to Altec Industries. Rosner said the company has reached parking capacity and expects that acquiring the roadway segment and building a replacement cul‑de‑sac could facilitate roughly $1 million in private investment and support about 30 new jobs next year.
The Board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution to initiate the VDOT abandonment process, directing the Clerk to forward the resolution to VDOT, the County Administrator to post required public notices and to determine a fair market or contributory value for the right‑of‑way (staff may form an opinion without a formal appraisal), and to return the item for final hearing once statutory notice periods expire.
