Isle of Wight EDA evaluating feasibility of developing 47-acre Shirley T. Holland site

With the 460 Commerce Center nearly ready for its first tenant, Isle of Wight County’s Economic Development Authority is turning its attention to another parcel in the Shirley T. Holland Intermodal Park near Windsor. A master plan for the park’s second phase, where Safco and the former Keurig Dr Pepper roasting plant are located, shows two future additions – the 460 Commerce Center and another speculative 350,000-square-foot manufacturing and wa…Smithfield · SmithfieldRead Article

Explainer: Why IW has separate comprehensive, strategic and capital improvements plans

Isle of Wight County’s elected officials and staff rely on three guidance documents to inform land-use and budgeting decisions. Supervisor Renee Rountree is calling for updates to all of them. Her call last year for a “growth management” task force to weigh in on the county’s readiness to absorb a population influx from 15 existing and proposed housing northern-end developments evolved into a broader effort to revise the 2020 “Envisioning the Is…Smithfield · SmithfieldRead Article

Isle of Wight supervisors vote to raise ambulance fees

Isle of Wight County supervisors voted unanimously on July 10 to increase the county’s billing rates for ambulance calls. Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Chief Garry Windley says the change is needed to keep pace with neighboring localities and a change in federal law that has made it more expensive for emergency medical services agencies to dispense drugs. Prior to the vote, the county had billed $550 for basic life support, $650 for Level 1 adva…Smithfield · SmithfieldRead Article

Letter – Memories of World War II

Editor, The Smithfield Times: John Edwards’ recent column about patriotism during World War II (“Real patriotism prevailed during World War II,” July 2) brought back old memories. It seems my WWII memories started the day I made my usual stop for an RC Cola after Sunday School at Turner and Griffins Pure Oil Station, on the corner of Main and Church streets, when a car stopped for gas. I recognized George Wells, known to some as Commander Wells,…World War II · SmithfieldRead Article

Letter – Geese have rights too

Editor, The Smithfield Times: We are in shock to read about the destruction of the geese at the Villas of Smithfield! We would enjoy seeing the geese stroll by with their goslings at the Goose Crossing Sign near the Villas. We know that wildlife, living with humans, are at a great disadvantage as some humans deem them a nuisance and have them killed. We find it hard to believe the “majority” of residents there fell in the nuisance excuse camp. W…Smithfield · SmithfieldRead Article

Letter – Changes needed on Villas board

Editor, The Smithfield Times: The current situation at the Villas of Smithfield has changed. As a resident, I am happy to announce that the geese are back. Apparently, they got most but not all of them. It was stated in an editor’s note on a previous letter to the editor (“Disagrees with geese removal,” July 9) that the board acted “on behalf of a majority of the residents.” That was not the case. The minority who were in favor of having them re…Smithfield · SmithfieldRead Article

Letter – IW sacrificing its forests for growth

Editor, The Smithfield Times: It’s outrageous, if correct, that the geese removed in Smithfield were killed (“Disagrees with geese removal,” July 9). It’s also outrageous that some leaders in Isle of Wight give contractors the green light to completely raze many of Carrollton and Smithfield’s forests, which are part of our ecosystem and wildlife’s homes, to make room for high-density residential development that our public services and minimal r…Smithfield · SmithfieldRead Article
