Augusta County Board of Supervisors meeting ... October 22, 2003

What issues were of concern in 2003 for the supervisors in Augusta County? While going through some boxes, we found an agenda from the October 22, 2003, BOS meeting that I attended. (I've spent the past decade attending the meetings to know what is going on in my county.)

Two current supervisors were there at the time: Tracy Pyles (Pastures) and Larry Howdyshell (North River). One has passed away: Orvin Kiser (South River). Here was the 2003 lineup:

Larry Howdyshell, Chairman (North River)
Tom Sikes, Vice Chairman (Wayne)
Tracy Pyles (Pastures)
Orvin Kiser (South River)
Don Hanger (Riverheads)
Jim Bailey (Beverley Manor)
Kay Frye (Middle River)

The agenda included two rezoning requests, both in Wayne District, and an ordinance to establish the North River Agricultural and Forestry District. They were considering a zoning request for Cedar Park in Beverley Manor District, the Stuarts Draft Park, matching grants from Parks & Rec for the Wilson Football League, and Rt. 608/285 corridor improvements.

I well remember that board....
