Know Your Government
Civic Government
For voters, business owners, working people, and independents who want to understand how local government works — and how to make it better.
This section is a civic resource more than a political one. Our goal is to help residents understand how local government works in James City County and the City of Williamsburg — and to build trust by doing a better job of running local government for the benefit of voters.
What We'll Cover
James City County Government
Calendar of upcoming issues, votes, and discussions on the JCC Board of Supervisors, commissions, and appointed boards — land planning, economic development, safety, taxes, and spending that impact our community.
James City County →Williamsburg City Government
Discussion of the commissions and boards whose decisions shape the City of Williamsburg — and how to make our city better with more conservative, common-sense leadership.
School Board
Upcoming school board meetings, votes, and decisions affecting families and students in Williamsburg and James City County.
Other Local Government
Police, fire, library, and the other local services — plus the NGOs funded by local government. We support the critically needed and question the rest.
This section is being built out with calendars, meeting summaries, and commentary from our committee members. Check back soon.
