The Franklin County Board of Supervisors met Monday, Oct. 13, at the courthouse in Hampton.
Supervisors approved a 28E agreement with the City of Hampton to construct and maintain a joint brush burn site. The agreement outlines shared costs for construction and ongoing maintenance.
The board also approved a resolution to move forward with construction on a courthouse repointing project—a restoration effort that will repair and replace deteriorating mortar between the courthouse’s exterior masonry and stonework. The project will include cleaning the building’s stone surface, replacing damaged masonry units, and resealing joints around doors and windows to help preserve the courthouse’s structural integrity and appearance.
Bid openings for the repointing project are scheduled for Nov. 10, with a public hearing and consideration of bids to follow on Nov. 12.
Other actions included approval of an asset sale and community health agreement with Franklin General Hospital, a subdivision waiver request, and various tax credit applications for the 2025 assessment year. Supervisors also set Oct. 27 at 10 a.m. for snow removal bid openings and acknowledged the Veterans Affairs quarterly report.
Department updates were provided by the county attorney, public health, assessor, and secondary roads.
