Below are details on some upcoming public meetings in Richmond and the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico.

City Council
4 p.m. Monday
Council chambers, 2nd floor, Richmond City Hall
301 N. 9th St.
The council is expected to get a real estate assessments update from the city’s assessor.
City Council
6 p.m. Monday
Council chambers, 2nd floor, Richmond City Hall
301 N. 9th St.
Most agenda items expected to get a vote Monday have been continued to later dates, but some remain on the docket.
The council is set to vote on whether to approve a special-use permit for 2811 Rady LLC, to build an affordable housing development at 2811 Rady St. with up to 352 units.
According to an earlier city ordinance, grant payments to the developer will be limited to incremental real estate tax revenues the project generates. To qualify, the development must have occupancy and rents at 60% of area median income for 30 years.
Council members are expected to also vote on a special-use permit for a mixed-used building with retail and office space at 5728 Patterson Ave. and 805 Libbie Ave.
The Westhampton Citizens Association sent a letter to the city in late 2024 about its objections to the proposal, saying it would be “inconsistent with certain elements of Richmond 300” vital to keep the distinct character and “village feel” of the area.
Public Safety Committee
1 p.m. Tuesday
Council chambers, 2nd floor, Richmond City Hall
301 N. 9th St.
The committee is set to hear the Richmond Ambulance Authority’s 2024 annual report. Also, members are slated to discuss the city police department’s planning and practices in Shockoe Bottom with Police Chief Rick Edwards.

Scott Morris, the city’s interim utilities director, is expected to present preliminary findings from an investigation into January’s water outage. The findings, released on Feb. 13., indicate there were no set safety protocols at the water plant during the January water outage.
The committee is also slated to get an overview of RVA 311 — the city’s nonemergency service — from the director of Richmond’s Citizen Service and Response.

The board is also expected to vote on whether to authorize a deal to replace the roof at Falling Creek Elementary School through a company that quoted the district about $1.8 million for the project.
Board of Supervisors
2 p.m. Wednesday
Administration Building, Room 502
10001 Iron Bridge Road
A work session is set to go over an array of issues, including the proposed FY26 budget and capital improvement program for the county’s utilities department.
Also, during the work session, the board is expected to review a community health improvement plan survey.
Board of Supervisors
6 p.m. Wednesday
Chesterfield County Public Meeting Room
10001 Iron Bridge Road
The board is set to consider a permit allowing Dominion Energy to expand an electric transforming station on nearly 22 acres.
Members are also expected to decide on a permit application from the Magnolia Green developer to remove size limits for retail and office uses on 88 acres along Hull Street Road.
Henrico County
Board of Supervisors
3 p.m. Tuesday
4301 E. Parham Road
Henrico’s Board of Supervisors is scheduled to host a work session prior to its regularly scheduled 6 p.m meeting. During the work session, the county manager is set to give a brief overview of the proposed FY26 budget.
Last year, the county’s budget funded a number of new priorities like the school division’s Henrico CARES initiative — a plan to create an enhanced system of mental health care for youths and their families.
The board also prioritized tax relief for its residents with additional $1.5 million in tax relief for qualifying homeowners through Henrico’s Real Estate Cap Program and an expansion of the Real Estate Advantage Program.
Outside of this work session, it’s likely the board and the public will receive a presentation for the full budget sometime in March.
Hanover County
School Board
1 p.m. Tuesday
John M. Gandy Building
200 Berkley St.
Hanover’s school board is set to speak with MGT Consulting, a third-party vendor, as they continue to work with Hanover County Public Schools to review scenarios related to an elementary school boundary adjustment.
HCPS has invested in a long-term strategy to address current and future student enrollment and capacity across schools in the division.
MGT will lead the process through several steps before the board makes its final decision. Changes would take effect in the 2025-26 school year.
The initial phase this fall involved data collection and analysis. Draft boundary options were published in January as part of the firm’s community engagement process.
The final options will be published in advance of their presentation to the School Board, which is currently slated for its March business meeting.
A vote on the boundary adjustment is currently scheduled to take place at the School Board’s April business meeting.
Board of Supervisors
Noon Wednesday
7516 County Complex Road
County Administrator John Budesky and various department heads are set to present a FY26 budget draft to county supervisors.
This meeting was rescheduled from the previous week due to inclement weather.
Last year’s budget focused primarily on investments in education, public safety and capital improvements — some of which came to fruition this year with the near completion of a new fire station and the new Ashland Elementary School building.
Supervisors will continue to examine long-range plans to replace the county’s aging school facilities and improve public safety buildings as they re-examine the county's capital spending plan.
Hanover’s Board of Supervisors is also expected to hold a regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
