from an email - june 16 2006

The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors has scheduled a special meeting with the County School Board and Blacksburg Town Council, to discuss the old Blacksburg Middle School and the high school stadium. The meeting will be held on Monday, June 19, 2006 beginning at 7 p.m. at the (NEW) Blacksburg Middle School, 3109 Price’s Fork Road in Blacksburg.

This is a public meeting and citizens are welcome to attend, but the meeting is a work session for discussion among the officials, and does not include the opportunity for citizens to address the Boards and Council.

(The Board of Supervisors meets regularly on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, beginning at 7:15 p.m. at the Montgomery County Government Center. These regular meetings often include public hearings on specific issues before the Board, and regularly include a time for “Public Address,” during which citizens may address the Board on any topic.)
