JAMES CITY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER PROJECT MOVES FORWARD
The James City County Board of Supervisors approved a special use permit for a new $189.5 million government center.
The project aims to consolidate 12 county functions into one building at a central location.
This new facility will replace aging and scattered current government buildings.
The board states the cost is comparable to maintaining existing facilities and will last longer.
Recent opposition has surfaced, with some demanding a public referendum.
Supervisors clarified the permit is a land use step and not final approval of the project’s design, contract, or funding.
Board members acknowledged the need for more public communication and plan town halls to address concerns and misinformation.
A referendum, they explained, can only address the financing method, not whether the project is built.
The special use permit was approved by a 4-1 vote.
