Starting Monday, the Lynchburg Visitor Center and the Lynchburg Museum on Court Street will reduce their operating hours—after a lower tax rate was approved by city council on June 30—to reflect adjustments in their funding structure.
Councilwoman Jacqueline Timmer held a town hall meeting Tuesday night at Dan Vollmer's offices on Wiggington Road where residents submitted written questions on the budget, campaign contributions, and a newly approved housing project that allows 562 units with potential expansion to 750 under a rezoning plan. Timmer explained that the development includes developer-funded road improvements (a key concession) and she opposed a separate Wards Ferry rezoning due to traffic safety concerns (citing local issues).
