Goochland County's Board of Supervisors held a productive meeting on July 1, 2025, focusing on community engagement and infrastructure improvements. A key highlight was the introduction of Philip Frazier as the new resident engineer from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Frazier emphasized his commitment to fostering a strong partnership with the county and enhancing communication regarding transportation projects.

During his address, Frazier acknowledged the retirement of his predecessor, Marshall, and expressed his intention to approach his role with "intentionality." He proposed a shift in how VDOT engages with the Board, suggesting that instead of monthly maintenance reports, he could provide more targeted updates on project development and grant opportunities. This change aims to better align VDOT's efforts with the county's growth and infrastructure needs.

The Board also approved the minutes from previous meetings, ensuring transparency and continuity in governance. The meeting concluded with an open invitation for questions, highlighting Frazier's eagerness to address community concerns and improve service delivery.

This meeting marks a significant step towards enhancing collaboration between Goochland County and VDOT, with the potential for more effective transportation planning and community engagement in the future. As Frazier settles into his role, residents can expect a more proactive approach to addressing their needs and concerns regarding local infrastructure.
