Buckingham County supervisors voted Tuesday to establish a 3.5% local tax on retail marijuana sales and a $30 business registration fee as the county prepares for Virginia’s planned legalization of recreational marijuana sales next July. The decisions came after County Attorney E.M. Wright Jr. outlined the county’s authority under the state’s retail marijuana framework. Although local governments cannot prohibit licensed marijuana businesses, Wright said Buckingham can regulate certain aspects of their operations, including hours of sale and zoning, while the state will oversee licensing and enforcement. He noted that the Town of Dillwyn, as an incorporated municipality, would be responsible for making its own regulatory decisions. Supervisors also designated County Administrator Karl Carter to receive notices of state license applications and directed him to develop recommendations for permitted sales hours.

Nearby: Farmville, VAA first-time disability services expo organized by Crossroads Community Services Board brought 59 providers to Farmville on Nov. 5, connecting families with resources and opening the door for expanded services in rural Southside Virginia. Held at the Firemen’s Sports Arena, the Disability Services Resource Expo exceeded organizers’ expectations, attracting agencies from across Virginia and residents seeking information about programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The event was designed to address a persistent challenge across Crossroads’ seven-county service area: Families often struggle to find specialized services, while organizations that provide those services may be unfamiliar with the needs of rural communities. Elyssa Long, intellectual and developmental disabilities coordinator for Crossroads, said the expo grew out of concerns about the lack of of available resources and the difficulty families face navigating service systems.
