Eastern Avenue Connector Update - Up for approval on the January 14 Board of Supervisors consent agenda: a proposal to move forward with a Design-Build procurement model for the Eastern Avenue connector road, following a prior attempt at a public-private partnership (PPTA).

This change improves the project’s chances of moving ahead by making the project eligible for VDOT Revenue Sharing funds that were previously unavailable.

Attend the Meeting
The Board meets today, January 14, at 4:00 PM at Lane Auditorium.

Bobcat kitten growing up - An orphaned bobcat that was admitted to the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro is healthy and putting on weight. Staff will soon introduce live prey to her enclosure so that she can learn to hunt before before being released back to the wild this Spring. Visit their website for more pictures and videos!
