The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors are always making decisions, and most of those have at least some weight for residents and businesses. With so much going on, it can be easy to miss decisions that are made or progress that is happening or, most importantly, the why behind a decision or change.
Every other week a member of the board will provide a new editorial to explain a decision, highlight progress, showcase a trend, or provide an opinion. The Board of Supervisors wants to ensure that our residents understand changes that happen and why they happen, and open communication about these things is the best way to do that.
