Merger introduced in General Assembly for consolidated city
In a series of speeches political leaders argued the merger would join the county with an industrial city and stop annexation by Portsmouth and Norfolk. Portsmouth sued in December to annex 44 square miles including Western Branch and part of Deep Creek District. Opponents claimed rushed study and higher costs, predicting a sprawling rural urban hybrid. The plan envisages six boroughs with a city manager and council, a single tax base, and special levies for boroughs choosing services. A second regional merger vote followed Virginia Beach and Princess Anne County approving a single city named Virginia Beach.
