You also can email your comments to BudgetPublicHearing@hanovercounty.gov.

All comments will be shared with the Board and published in summary in the minutes of the April 1 Board meeting. Comments will be collected from March 26 through 5:00 p.m. on March 31. If necessary, you may attend the public hearing in person, but social distancing and limitations on the number of people in the Board Room at any one time will be observed.
