Team Orange,
The “ end of an era ” is quickly being realized as we fondly recall the service of Supervisor Frame whose resignation from the Board took effect at the end of September. Likewise, Supervisor Crozier resigned in April (effective July) and was back in the area earlier this month to be recognized for his long service to our region by the Rappahannock Rapidan Regional Commission at its annual banquet. In December, we will recognize outgoing supervisor Jim White who announced his retirement from the Board earlier this year. All three have made significant contributions to the success of our community over the past decade or more, and we are grateful for their leadership. A new era of leadership will begin in January when the Board is seated following next month ’ s election. While County staff are obligated to refrain from political activity while at work, we all have the right and privilege to vote in the upcoming elections and encourage every eligible voter to do so. Orange County residents may obtain election information, including polling place locations and sample ballots, on the Orange County website ’ s Voter Registration and Elections section. Staff is already at work preparing for the orientation of new members and engaged in preliminary work to inform the new Board ’ s strategic planning process. As the outgoing Board Members reflect upon their tenure, I know they are proud of the work they ’ ve done to deliver on a strategic vision of a vibrant economy, sustainable land use and effective reflective government. With mixed emotions, we are both sad to see the end of a productive era in our community but filled with anticipation about the future. We look forward to working with our new elected leaders to create a vision for the next chapter in Orange County ’ s history.
