The Wythe County Board of Supervisors is currently in the process of reviewing the proposed Comprehensive Plan as recommended by the Wythe County Planning Commission. The plan is designed to be a decision-making tool to help guide the growth and development of the county.  The plan is general, long range and comprehensive. The plan is based upon the data gathered about land use, population, housing, community services, transportation and the economy. The plan takes into consideration present and probable future needs and seeks to promote the health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity and general welfare of the people in Wythe County. 

In an effort to determine the views of local citizens and gain valuable information prior to adopting the Wythe County Planning Commission’s recommended plan, the Board of Supervisors will be conducting a public hearing, in compliance with Section 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in the Board Room of the Wythe County Administration Building, 340 South 6th Street, Wytheville, VA.

WYTHE COUNTY, VA – Mount Rogers Planning District Commission will be providing a communications portal for Wythe County citizens. This portal will assist in the delivery of information for any unexpected or unforeseen issues that occur during broadband installation. Utilizing this portal will offer Wythe County citizens direct access to the local government liaison who can then make certain the information is passed to the proper individuals.  

Providing broadband and internet access to the majority of Wythe County is a huge win for our citizens, businesses, children, and families, By providing an avenue for our citizens to communicate with us, we are able to identify any issues that have occurred during the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) expansion project(s) and offer connections that lead to solutions. 

“As Point Broadband continues to invest in our community, both residents and businesses will benefit from fiber-fast internet speeds and greater reliability,” said Tony Carter, General Manager of Point Broadband. “Wythe County’s growth is dependent upon expanded infrastructure and Point Broadband is proud to be contributing through our Fiber Optic Network.” Construction progress and be found at https://www.point-broadband.com/new-areas/wythe
