Data Center debate takes new direction as Alabama changes minds and Cavaliers complete historic season

“My whole goal in this was to go down there and get with the locals because the locals are just like us,” said Delilah Brady, who turned the microphone around and faced the audience. “I wanted to find all the negatives…. I went everywhere and I talked to everybody and they were happy. It was almost like they lived in this little utopia or something… Overall, I mean, everybody liked them.” Goodge owned data centers made a big impression on Carroll County visitors. Carroll County pulled away in the fourth quarter to defeat James River 40-20 in Buchanan, Va. on Friday, November 6, in the process completing the first perfect regular season in program history. “It’s a blessing,” said running back Hunter Gravley. “This is something I thought Carroll County would never see and I’m just grateful to be part of it.”

Supervisors adopt marijuana sales rules

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.

Grant will train, attract new doctors

A grant totaling $1.2 million over five years from the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association Foundation will help Centra establish a rural family medicine residency program in Farmville, expanding primary care training and efforts to recruit physicians to Southside Virginia. Awarded through Virginia’s Rural Health Transformation Program, the funding will support a new rural track within Centra’s Lynchburg Family Medicine Residency program. Beginning in July 2027, the program will add two residents annually. The first group will train in Lynchburg for one year before moving to Farmville in July 2028 to complete the final two years of residency. The program will serve seven Southside Virginia counties — Amelia, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway and Prince Edward — that Centra said are federally designated as having primary care shortages and medically underserved areas or populations.

Expo connects families with services

A 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.
