Henrico County's Board of Supervisors made significant strides in infrastructure development during their meeting on July 22, 2025, approving key resolutions aimed at enhancing local roadways and environmental compliance.

The board unanimously approved an amendment for engineering and design services related to the 3 Chop Road improvement project, allocating an additional $898,637.79. This funding will support necessary updates to environmental permits and facilitate utility relocations, crucial for keeping the project on track. County Manager Hughes emphasized the importance of these services, stating, "This is intended to keep the project moving," as delays have been exacerbated by extreme weather conditions impacting utility contractors.

In another major decision, the board awarded a construction contract worth $1.8 million to Abernathy Construction Corporation for the Meadow Road culvert replacement project. This initiative aims to improve drainage and safety in the area, further demonstrating the county's commitment to infrastructure enhancement.

Additionally, the board authorized the application for federal matching grants from the Virginia Department of Transportation for the New Market Heights Trail project, phases 3 and 4. These grants could provide up to $2.5 million per project, with a public meeting scheduled for July 29 at 5:30 PM to discuss the initiative further.

These resolutions reflect Henrico County's proactive approach to infrastructure development, ensuring that essential projects move forward while engaging the community in the planning process.
