Board of Supervisors supports internet grant

In today’s meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved a resolution in support of Comcast Cable filing a grant application to extend internet service in the Old Church area. By September 3, Comcast will be submitting a request for about $1.4 million in grant funding from the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative through the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. If the grant is approved by the state, service would be extended to about 250 homes. The Board’s meetings are videostreamed live and the archived version of today's meeting should be available here tomorrow afternoon.

Board approves request from Glen Allen VFW Post

Following a public hearing, the Board of Supervisors approved, with the staff’s conditions, a conditional use permit amendment request from Glen Allen Post VFW #10657 . The request was opposed by some neighbors who accused the Post of holding activities that were too loud and intrusive to the neighborhood. The amended CUP prohibits the firing of any weapons. Military vehicles can only be used only in static displays on the property itself. In other business, the Board deferred the request of Marchetti Properties III to rezone 324 acres located on the east side of Mountain Road (Rt. 33) at the Henrico line for a mixed use development.
