Goochland County's Board of Supervisors took significant steps towards enhancing community infrastructure and environmental sustainability during their regular meeting on July 1, 2025. The board approved a series of resolutions and consent agenda items aimed at improving local services and facilities.

One of the key resolutions passed was a request to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to accept the streets of the Mosaic at West Creek Section 7 Subdivision into the state’s secondary system for maintenance. This move is expected to streamline road maintenance and improve accessibility for residents in that area.

Additionally, the board accepted a grant of $98,496 from the Virginia Department of Forestry, designated for parks and recreation projects. This funding will support various initiatives aimed at enhancing outdoor recreational opportunities for the community, ensuring that local parks remain well-maintained and accessible.

The board also authorized the county administrator to execute a contract with the waste management authority for the collection and recycling of Freon, a significant step towards environmental responsibility and sustainability.

In a forward-looking initiative, the board set public hearings for August 5, 2025, to discuss amendments related to the comprehensive plan and the establishment of a technology overlay district. A community meeting is scheduled for July 7, 2025, to engage residents in discussions about these developments.

The meeting highlighted the board's commitment to addressing community needs through strategic planning and resource allocation. As these initiatives move forward, Goochland County residents can expect improvements in infrastructure and environmental stewardship that will enhance their quality of life.
