The following update was received from the VMRC regarding the rescheduling of the Westminster Canterbury (WC) application to remove their existing timber pier and build a new concrete shared use pier in its place. The application was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but was not included as part of the final approved agenda recently posted on the VMRC website.

We are aiming to replace the item on the March agenda. If that occurs, those who have submitted a comment to us through our public comment portal will receive a notification of the meeting date and time. The agenda will also be posted on our website (https://www.mrc.virginia.gov/calendar.shtm) once finalized. No additional news advertisement is necessary to satisfy VMRC’s meeting requirements.
Respectfully,
Tiffany
