Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Henrico County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
East End Water Extension
The Board was scheduled for a work session update on the East End water extension project, which affects water service for that part of the county.
Chesapeake Bay Protection Area Encroachment at Fairways Section 6
A stormwater level spreader would eat into about 1,567 square feet of the required 100-foot buffer along Stony Run — a small but environmentally sensitive trade-off tied to the Fairways housing development.
Fees for household refuse disposal areas
An ordinance was scheduled for public hearing to set the fees residents pay at county household refuse disposal areas. The fee levels directly affect residents who use these drop-off sites.
Environmental Lawsuit
Henrico County is getting sued over recurring sewage leaks flowing straight into the James River. Local taxpayers are likely on the hook for some serious bills to fix up the aging infrastructure and settle the legal trouble.
