James City County Government Center Approved

James City County supervisors just approved the final $177 million contract for their new government center — a major upgrade after years of delays and budget tweaks — with construction set to wrap by summer 2028, including a separate $22–25 million library annex. Despite a 3-2 vote and some dissent, the deal with Henderson and Gilbane moves the project forward, replacing the old Mounts Bay Road site with a new location on Longhill Road. Site work, stormwater systems, and underground parking are already underway, while nearby recreation center parking upgrades begin in August to ease traffic. Residents’ legal attempts to halt the project were dismissed, and the county’s long-needed space expansion is now officially on track.
