Dale District Supervisor Jim Holland thanks members of the Highlands Massey Classic Committee at the board's January 9 meeting. The committee was instrumental in raising funds for cancer research and treatments.
  • Supervisor Holland will hold a Dale District community meeting to discuss the county’s proposed FY2014 budget on Tuesday, March 19, 7 p.m., at Meadowbrook High School.
  • The county’s proposed capital improvement program for needed investments in facilities and infrastructure for fiscal 2014-18 will be considered by the Board of Supervisors, along with the county’s operating budget, at the budget public hearing on March 20. The county has a policy of keeping its debt payments to 10 percent or less of the operating budget. In recent years, the actual payments have amounted to around 7 percent. A vote on the plan and the budget is scheduled for April 10. The capital plan’s proposed spending over the next five years includes:
    • $201.3 million on general county government projects, including roads, libraries and public safety. One of the biggest expenditures would be to replace the public-safety radio system.
    • $347.7 million on the school system. That total would include more than $250 million for replacement or major renovation of school buildings, as recommended in the comprehensive plan.
    • $279.4 million on county utilities, mainly water and wastewater systems. New federal mandates for wastewater quality will cost the county $37.4 million over the next five years.
     
  • Work continues on the county’s new countywide comprehensive plan. In February, the Planning Commission began to look at how the new plan applies land-use and infrastructure plans, among others, generically across the entire county. This effort is intended to blend some of the older area and community plans into the new comprehensive plan, and address revitalization and other issues. The Planning Commission began to look at the amendments during their Feb. 19 meeting. These amendments define geographical boundaries on the zoning maps of former special area plans that were superseded when the new plan was adopted. The amendments define these geographies on the zoning maps since these particular special area plans no longer exist. The special plan geographies affected include Ettrick, Upper Swift Creek, (Northern) Route 288, Consolidated Eastern Area, (Eastern) Midlothian Turnpike, (Western) Route 360, Matoaca, and Southern and Western. The amendments also clarify that certain standards apply to all subareas of specific geographies, including Chester, Midlothian and Bon Air Village.

At Meadowbrook High School, a project to renovate the baseball field, backstop and fencing has been completed.
  • Road Projects: The county was successful in obtaining Bike and Pedestrian Safety funds to extend the sidewalk on the south side of Cogbill Road from Chesterwood Drive to Meadowbrook High School. The project is scheduled to begin early next year. Revenue Sharing and Federal Enhancement funds will be used to construct a sidewalk on Cogbill Road from Howell Drive to Meadowbrook High School. Construction is expected to begin this summer. Cash proffers will be used to improve the Celestial Lane curve by widening the pavement and adding shoulders. Construction is expected to begin this summer, depending on utility relocations. Construction will begin this spring on a project to realign the curve and add turning lanes to Newbys Bridge Road at Jacobs Road. Revenue-sharing funds will be used to construct a sidewalk on Osborne Road from Cliff Lawn Drive to the shopping center at Jefferson Davis Highway and Osborne Road.  Construction is expected to begin this summer.
