New Nuisance Ordinance in Effect

We’ve always had an ordinance that stated you couldn’t keep junk vehicles on your property and your grass has to be cut but in the last few months the council has instituted a new drive to try to clean up Powhatan.  As a council we want to help you in anyway to clean up your property.  If you have a junk vehicle that you want to get rid of, please just stop down at the City Building and the front desk will give you the name and number of a fellow who will remove them for you at no cost to you.  If you see lawns that haven’t been tended (like the old Frosty Treat property), please know that we have been trying to first of all, find the owners and secondly get them to keep their grass mowed.  Sometimes property is owned by an LLC and we are searching for real people whom we can deal with.

We know we have a long way to go but with your help we can do this.
