The Mathews County Planning Commission looked at the county’s FY 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan during its meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

Members also elected officers for the coming year, unanimously selecting Billy Cook to serve as chairman and Harry Meeks to be vice chair.The commission is charged with studying the capital improvement requests made by county departments, constitutional officers, outside agencies, and the public; determining a timeline for meeting those requests based on the funds available; and making recommendations to the Mathews County Board of Supervisors.

Determinations are scheduled to be made during the January 2023 commission meeting so the supervisors will have the commission’s recommendations when budget work sessions begin in February.

County departments are scheduled to submit their funding requests to the county in time for the board’s annual organizational meeting at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 10.
