Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Henrico County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Road project condemnation resolutions
The county couldn't strike a deal with the owner of 3800 Mechanicsville Turnpike, so it moved to condemn the land needed for new sidewalks. Property owners get paid fair market value, but it's a forced sale.
Mount Olive Avenue realignment easements
Resolutions 201-26 and 202-26 would condemn easements at 8825 and 8831 Trolley Lane for the Mount Olive Avenue Realignment Project in the Fairfield District.
Countywide street preservation contracts
Two contract awards would keep countywide road maintenance going: slurry seal work by Slurry Pavers and asphalt paving and planing by Colony Construction and Finley Asphalt.
Lakeside Avenue bridge replacement
A contract award would move the Lakeside Avenue bridge replacement project forward in the Fairfield District.
SMART SCALE funding bid for FY 2028
The county planned to submit its letter of intent to compete for state transportation construction money through VDOT's SMART SCALE program, covering all five districts.
South Laburnum Avenue Sidewalk Projects
A resolution to condemn rights-of-way and easements for northbound and southbound sidewalk projects at 4800 South Laburnum Avenue was scheduled for a public hearing.
