Good Sunday, everyone. Welcome to this episode of The James Exchange. I am your host, Nancy Gill
In this issue, I spoke with Jordan Miles who is the current chairman of the Buckingham Board of Supervisors. Our conversation took on gold mining issues, how the County can create a zoning ordiance banning the activity, and the Community Rights Ordinace that concerned residents has put before them. We touched briefly on solar farms and will continue our conversation on health initiatives and issues which will be covered in a future podcast.
