Buchanan supervisors approve $3 E-911 tax in Buchanan County
In Grundy Virginia the Buchanan County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $3 monthly surcharge on residents' telephone bills to fund initial costs of a county wide E-911 system. The measure, aligned with Virginia law, also creates a 22 member implementation committee led by supervisor Calvin Ward as interim chair. Ward estimates initial 911 costs could reach $450,000 and notes the tax should appear on November bills, mirroring other telecom reductions.
