Where to go for bond info – On November 2, County voters will be asked to vote on the following proposed bond referendum: “Shall James City County, Virginia, contract a debt and issue its general obligation bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $30,000,000 pursuant to the Public Finance Act of 1991, as amended, for the purpose of financing a portion of the cost of stormwater management projects?”

The County has set up a new webpage with information on stormwater management projects and general obligation bonds – jccEgov.com/stormwaterbond.

County staff is available to speak with local neighborhoods and organizations about the referendum. For details, call 259-4986 or e-mail tcarter@james-city.va.us.
