Westover Hills may form own town in Pittsylvania County
W Y Gatewood Jr, Pittsylvania County supervisor for Westover district, plans an open meeting with Westover Hills residents to discuss forming a township and seceding from the county. If pursued, the area could gain its own sales tax, revenue sharing, and services, with a town council and budget control. Gatewood expects the meeting soon, likely the week after next, while the county attorney will review legal details.
