The James City County Board of Supervisors met twice in June, tackling a packed agenda of land use, infrastructure, and policy issues. Among the top stories were deferrals of two major mixed-use developments, Cardinal Ridge and Bluffs at Kiskiack, which together could bring thousands of new homes to the county. The board also received an update on the new consolidated government center, now estimated at $177 million, which is several million less than previous estimates. Supervisors additionally initiated state-mandated zoning amendment review addressing data center sound regulations, among other 2026 legislative changes, and separately approved increased purchasing authority thresholds. Below is a closer look at the Board’s June deliberations.
