The November Mathews County Board of Supervisors meeting, originally scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday at Mathews High School, will now be fully virtual via the Zoom platform. It will be available for public viewing on the county's meeting portal: www.mathewscountyva.gov/355/Meeting-Portal and Facebook page: Mathews County, Virginia.
