LONG-TERM CLOSURE OF LIGHTFOOT PARK AND RIDE LOT IN YORK COUNTY SCHEDULED TO BEGIN AS EARLY AS JUNE 23

Closure in place through late 2025 for lot improvements as part of I-64 Gap Segment C Widening Project

YORK COUNTY - Starting as early as June 23, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are scheduled to temporarily close the Lightfoot Park and Ride lot, located at 617 East Rochambeau Drive in York County, for paving and reconstruction.

 

Improvements to the existing gravel commuter lot, adjacent to the I-64/Route 199 Lightfoot interchange, include new asphalt pavement and markings for 68 parking spaces, including three Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant spaces. The reconstruction will also feature the addition of five bike racks, updated parking signs and lighting, and the construction of a stormwater management pond.

 

The improved Park and Ride lot is estimated to reopen in late 2025.

 

This work is part of the I-64 Gap Segment C Widening Project, which began in November 2024. The Segment C project includes 9 miles of I-64 roadway widening and pavement rehabilitation from the New Kent/James City County line to approximately 1.15 miles west of the Route 199 Lightfoot exit (exit 234). In addition to widening I-64, the project also includes the repair, rehabilitation and widening of two bridges on I-64 east and west over Six Mount Zion Road.

 

The I-64 Gap Widening projects have been divided into three segments labeled Segments A, B, and C, with each being constructed as an operationally independent project to enhance connectivity between Richmond and Hampton Roads. The collective objective involves improving congestion and safety in this corridor by widening approximately 29 miles of travel lanes, adding a 12-foot-wide third lane and 10-foot-wide paved shoulders in both directions. The I-64 corridor within these project segments currently only provides two lanes in each direction and links to sections at both ends that have three travel lanes–hence, this corridor has been deemed “the gap.”

 

The I-64 Gap Segment C Widening Project is estimated to be completed as early as late 2027.

Happy first day of summer!


We'll enjoy a slight break from the heat today, but warmer weather and higher humidity will return this weekend.


High temperatures will drop into the mid-80s today, which is about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday and nearly normal for this time of year, according to Meteorologist Myles Henderson of WTKR News 3.


Sunny skies and highs in the low to mid-90s are in store for Saturday and Sunday.

The Swarm Hotline: How local beekeepers are saving our pollinators

Each spring, honeybees swarm.


In groups of thousands, they leave their overcrowded hives to start a new colony and often settle in tree trunks.


But they can also alarm homeowners by settling temporarily in attics, grills, tree limbs or sheds.


Instead of reaching for pesticides – which are illegal to use against honeybees in Virginia – the Colonial Beekeeper Association (CBA) urges residents to call their 24/7 Swarm Hotline at (757) 828-7707 for assistance.


Within an hour, a trained local beekeeper will arrive safely and relocate the bees to a new hive, without any extermination necessary.


The CBA is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting honeybees and educating the public across the Historic Triangle with free educational programming and training.


All members are beekeepers and come from as far south as Hampton to as far north as Middlesex.


The idea for a public swarm removal service began years ago as part of the CBA's commitment to responsible beekeeping. In 2021, the group streamlined its formerly lengthy process into what is now the Swarm Hotline.


When someone contacts the line, they are connected to an available beekeeper near them who can help immediately. 


Most swarm removals are free of charge unless the bees have nested inside structures, which requires a more complex extraction.


Nathan S. Brauner, the president of the CBA, emphasized the importance of Swarm Hotline encounters in building a healthier relationship between people and a stigmatized insect: the bee.


"It really is a good way for us to further our educational mission for Colonial Beekeepers and to minimize negative interactions between people and honeybees," Brauner said.

Despite often being misunderstood, honeybees have played a vital role in American history.


The honeybee is not native to North America and was introduced by the Virginia Company in Jamestown in 1622.


In the 17th century, honeybees were used solely to produce honey as a food and drink sweetener, but the bees quickly became an indispensable pollinator in American agriculture.


"This honeybee is the single most important insect to the founding of America," State Delegate Patrick Hope said in an interview with NPR. "I'm surprised it took us so long to make that connection with the historical aspect. 


In 2024, Hope led a bill to designate the European Honeybee as the Virginia State Pollinator, which Governor Glenn Younkin signed into law. 


"If we didn't have the honeybee, then it would be very difficult for us to continue growing crops in the same way that we do," Brauner said.


Today, honeybees are responsible for pollinating 80% of the food we eat; however, their populations are declining due to pesticides, habitat loss and disease.


Calling the Swarm Hotline instead of exterminators, planting bee-friendly gardens with native flowers and buying local honey can all support honeybee preservation.

York County moves to regulate data centers

The York County Board of Supervisors is making strides to prevent fallout from data centers that may want to call the county home in the future.

The board unanimously passed an ordinance on Tuesday that regulates noise generation, energy consumption and water usage for any proposed data centers, even though no such proposals are currently on the horizon.

  • The vote came after the county's planning commission approached the supervisors in March to raise concerns about the possibility of future data center development in the county. 

  • Without regulations in place, a new data center could create demand to upgrade the county's energy infrastructure, the commission said. That costly endeavor would be passed onto the citizens.

Under the new policy, a data center developer would be required to submit a letter from the electric utility, as well as the public water purveyor, stating that the county's current infrastructure is sufficient to serve the proposed data center. 

  • The ordinance also attempts to rein in noise by restricting on-site generator testing to no more than two hours per day.

During public comments, residents asked the board to be proactive in ensuring that future data centers don't interfere with residents' quality of life.

  • Ann Grigorian urged the board to develop specific language that would limit light pollution and restrict the constant noise the centers' cooling fans can generate. 

  • Resident Mark Williams said that while a data center could be beneficial economically for the county, he, too, worries about the noise.

  • "I look forward to a data center here because we need the jobs for construction as well as long term," Williams said. "However, whatever noise abatement that could be established to protect anybody's homes [or businesses], that would be great."

Context: Data centers have become a topic of contention during General Assembly meetings over the past few years as their construction has skyrocketed in the Commonwealth.

  • Northern Virginia is the largest data center market in the world, containing a quarter of all data centers in the Americas, according to a report by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission. Significant growth is expected to push further south and has already been seen along the I-95 corridor to Central Virginia.

The controversy: Data centers provide a significant boost to Virginia's economy, supplying 74,000 jobs, $5.5 billion in labor income and $9.1 billion in GDP to the Commonwealth annually. Localities also benefit from substantial tax revenues from the industry through the taxes they are required to pay. 

  • Nonetheless, the massive facilities - used to house computer systems and telecommunications storage equipment - have ignited controversy in some of the areas where they have been built.

  • In Prince William County, battles surrounding data centers have become central to local politics. The county's top elected official, Board Chair Ann Wheeler, was unexpectedly ousted during the primary election on Tuesday because of her support for a large data center project.

  • Residents of the county have complained that the centers are "noisy, ugly and consume massive amounts of electricity that require the addition of high-voltage transmission lines," according to the Associated Press.

  • Meanwhile, a data center project proposal was rejected in Chesapeake earlier this week, The Virginian-Pilot reports.

What's next: While York County's supervisors refrained from adding additional noise or light restrictions to the new ordinance, they agreed they may revisit the issue later.

  • Board Chair Sheila Null and District 5 Supervisor Thomas Shepperd agreed that while stronger regulations could be coming down the pike, it is important to make some progress now.

  • "I think this is a good start," Shepperd said.

  • "We're ahead of the game, if you will, because we have started on this," Null said. "I just want to get us moving. We need to keep moving on it."

WJCC Schools to issue employee bonuses

The Williamsburg-James City County school division will soon issue bonuses to returning employees.

  • The school board approved the proposed payments during its meeting on Tuesday in an effort to boost employee retention. 

The funds will be issued to instructional and support staff who signed a contract to return to their jobs with the school system for the upcoming 2025-26 school year. Those eligible will receive the bonuses at the end of the month.

  • Part-time employees will receive an additional $750, while full-time staff will receive $1,000. 

  • The proposed payments were a frequent topic of discussion over the past several months as the board geared up to develop its budget. 

  • The plan cost the school system about $2 million. About half of the funding was contributed by the state, while the other half was paid for by the school system.

"One of our priorities for the school division was to enhance compensation for our staff as we look to remain competitive across the region," Superintendent Daniel Keever said in a video message last month. "We have been able to address some of our compensation challenges."

'Huge undertaking': James City County supervisors clear the way for construction of $238M government center with approval of special use permit

A $238 million proposed James City County Government Center is one step closer to reality following the Board of Supervisors' approval of a special use permit for the project.


At its meeting on June 10, the supervisors greenlighted a request to make way for the construction of the 177,000-square-foot building, which is the size equivalent of about three Williamsburg-area Harris Teeter supermarkets. 


Previous zoning regulations limited buildings to no more than 30,000 square feet.


Last month, the board voted to approve a $389.5 million budget for fiscal year 2026 that includes funding for the new center. The decision was made in spite of pushback from dozens of vocal residents who spoke during public meetings over the span of several months.


A few speakers at Tuesday's meeting urged the board to allow the county's citizens to vote on the proposed building via a referendum, a request that has been echoed by citizens throughout this year's budget process.


"Put this on a ballot… because that's how you find out if the public is willing to financially support this," resident Chuck Colegrove said.


Residents have raised a range of concerns about the center, including the costs, traffic impacts and potential environmental effects.


Chris Henderson said the proposed project - expected to cost nearly a quarter of a billion dollars - has become excessively expensive.


"We were originally told that this was an $80 to $90 million project. Well, today, it's $190 million, plus potentially $50 million for a library, plus untold millions in road improvements," Henderson said. "You are going to put our taxpayers in a situation where our tax rate will have to increase dramatically in order to pay for these improvements."


Karen Rollins said that while the county's current government office buildings are indeed becoming outdated, they can and should be renovated.


"I haven't heard anything that convinces me this [new center] is essential," Rollins said. "I, for one, am totally against what appears to me to be unnecessary development.


Despite the feedback, the supervisors voted 4 to 1 in favor of the special use permit, with Supervisor Barbara Null abstaining.


"I'm torn on this," Null said. "I've had a lot of pushback from residents upset that that they didn't get to vote on it."


Null said she would ideally prefer a more conservative approach, such as renovating the current county government buildings with construction of additional offices on the existing land.


Null also seemed uncomfortable with the lack of public awareness surrounding the project. She said that while numerous public hearings on the new government center have been held, too many residents are still unaware of construction plans and will wonder "what the heck happened" when they see that it is being built.


The county's comprehensive plan states that all public facilities should "reflect what the citizens, need, desire and are willing to financially support," Null stressed.


"A lot of people don't think that we should be taking on this debt," Null said. "It's a huge undertaking. It's a huge building."


Supervisor Ruth Larson clarified that the "yes" vote on Tuesday did not automatically mean that the new site will be built-- it simply clears the way for the project, should it be fully approved later.


Larson explained that the board was opposed to allowing county residents to vote on the center via referendum because it would be a no-win situation for the supervisors.


"If you put it into a referendum, if that were possible, it's going to be defeated," Larson said. 


In that case, she said, the board would still have "no choice" but to move forward with a plan to construct a new office space. 


"We need more space, and we are not meeting the needs of our county," Larson said. "We're going to have to come back, and we're going to have to vote to do something anyway, and then we're going to get accused of not listening to the referendum."

Historic Triangle libraries kick off summer reading programs to combat learning loss

Research has shown for decades that students, especially younger ones, can experience learning setbacks over summer break – a phenomenon commonly known as the "summer slide." 


A 2020 study published in the American Educational Research Journal found that students in 1st through 8th grade lose 17-34% of their school year gains on average during the summer months.


Dr. James Kim, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, explained the significance of this loss in an interview with Scholastic.


"Things like decoding, letter knowledge, and word reading skills are very susceptible to decay without frequent practice, as are math facts like addition and subtraction," Kim said.


The summer slide is a concern for both parents and educators, yet the summer season often presents limited options for families.


Fortunately, the Historic Triangle's regional libraries are stepping up to help combat potential learning loss among their patrons.


The Williamsburg Regional Library will kick off its Children's Summer Reading Program, "First Day Fun," with music and snacks on the library front lawn on June 14 at 1 p.m.


Other highlights of this year's program include Free Book Week (August 3-9), where each participant can choose a book to keep; a community-wide goal of logging 60,000 books on the Beanstack portal; and weekly events at the library tied to this year's theme, "Color Our World," focusing on community engagement, creativity and kindness.


"With the theme, we are inviting organizations to come and talk about what they do, as far as getting kids excited about giving back to their community," Williamsburg Regional Library Youth Services Director Alicia Phinney said. 


Speakers from Heritage Humane Society, FISH, the Virginia Master Naturalists and other local organizations will be giving educational presentations at the library throughout the summer.


The children's program is open to kids from birth to 8th grade and runs through August 2. 


Teen and adult summer reading programs will be offered, too.


Registration for all ages is available now at wrl.beanstack.org, in person at the WRL or at a Bookmobile stop.


The York County Public Library will also be running a Summer Reading Challenge from June 26 to August 9.


Both libraries promote a flexible approach to their summer reading programs and encourage participants to read anything they enjoy: novels, comics, audiobooks, e-books, magazines and more.


"It's not like an extension of school. We want you to read anything and everything over the summer," Phinney said.


Michelle Paxton, York County Public Library's youth services coordinator, suggests creative ways to even tie reading into real-world adventures.


"If they're reading a book that's set at the beach, they could go down to Yorktown Beach and spend time there and make that connection…to make a connection that it's just not words on a page," Paxton said.

Neil Handa, a student at Henley Middle School in Crozet, Va., was named the first-place winner at the 2025 National Civics Bee Virginia State Finals competition.

  • As previously reported, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation hosted the event on June 7. Handa will now advance to compete against the top finalists from around the county at the National Civics Bee in Washington, D.C, on Nov 10 - 11, 2025.

  • Yousef Kiani from J. Lupton Simpson Middle School in Leesburg, Va. placed second place in the Virginia State Finals. Arianna McBride from Andrew Lewis Middle School in Salem, Va. placed third.

The National Civics Bee is an annual competition designed to promote civic engagement among young Americans. To enter to participate in the competition, students must submit an essay that identifies issues in their communities and how to use civic principles to solve them. 

  • The state finals at Colonial Williamsburg featured three rounds, including two live quiz events with questions on the U.S. Constitution. Participants presented a summary of their essays and answered questions from judges to test their knowledge.

"It's incredibly heartening to see young people embrace their responsibility to be civically engaged," said Cliff Fleet, president and CEO of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. "The example set by Neil and his fellow competitors here in Williamsburg, where the ideals that shaped American democracy were debated over 250 years ago, should inspire all of us to be more active and informed citizens."

  • In Virginia, the Civics Bee ties into the many 2026 initiatives connected to the VA250 Education Steering Committee, which is made possible through a partnership between Secretary of Education Aimee Guidera, the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission and the Virginia Department of Education. 

  • The goal of those initiatives is to bring history to life, spark a civics renaissance and celebrate democracy in the months leading up to America's 250th anniversary.

  • Middle School students from public, private, charter and homeschools are invited to apply to the 2026 National Civics Bee. Additional details will be posted here as the event draws nearer. General information about the program is available through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
