Re: Road Closure - State Route 9321
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
Attached hereto, you will find a Resolution passed by the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, at its
regular meeting on June 7, 2010, to rectify an apparent problem from 1989 concerning the closure of
State Route 9321 off of U. S. Route 57, which was the former entrance to the old Callands Elementary
School. Apparently, the original closure did not incorporate the Resolution for the Board of Supervisors
stated it was abandoned and remove it from the secondary system. Attached hereto, you will find the
requirements of notice to the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Department of Game & Inland
Fisheries, the advertisements in the Star Tribune for April 28, 2010 thru May 5, 2010 and the Resolution
authorizing the abandonment and removal of this road from the State Secondary System.
If you should have any questions concerning this notice, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
Sincerely,
