On Wednesday, September 13 at 6 p.m. the Board of Supervisors will hold its public hearing on the proposed 5-year update to the Comprehensive Plan, Envision Hanover.

This plan will be the County’s long-term guide for growth and development as well as the preservation of Hanover’s rural character. 

The full draft plan and maps can be found here.

Enrollment opens Friday, September 1 for the Hanover County Land Use Program and runs through Wednesday, November 1.

This program enables qualified landowners to have their property assessed at “use value,” which may be lower than market value and reduce taxes owed.

The Board of Supervisors has adopted a policy on solar installations in the County. The policy not only guides the siting, location and land use decisions related to solar facilities but also addresses fiscal concerns.

All applications for these facilities will be expected to comply with the Board’s policy.

There is a community meeting Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. at Atlee Library for the Hanover Montessori, LLC application. The applicant will provide an overview of their Special Exception permit request.

If you are unable to attend the community meeting, please send your questions and/or comments to Brendan McHugh at [email protected].

As with all applications that move forward, there will be additional community engagement opportunities at the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors public hearings.
