Tuckahoe Supervisor O’Bannon to retire after 28 years
Seven-term Tuckahoe District Supervisor Pat O’Bannon announced Monday that she will retire at the end of her current term (Dec. 31), ending a 28-year career on the Henrico Board of Supervisors.
O’Bannon, a Republican, told the Citizen that she was unsure until recently about whether she would vacate her seat or seek an eighth term, but ultimately decided that after dedicating herself to Henrico for the better part of three decades, it was time to shift her focus.
New Henrico park to be ‘one-of-a-kind’
Plans for a “one-of-a-kind” park in Eastern Henrico got a little closer to reality Feb. 14, when the Henrico Board of Supervisors voted to award a $20-million contract for its construction.
The board awarded the contract to Loughridge & Company LLC for the construction of Taylor Farm Park on a 99-acre site in Sandston. Work will commence by the end of this month and is expected to last through June 2024.
