Resolution to Approve an Agreement to Relocate the Boundary Line for the Town of Smithfield

The Town of Smithfield and the County of Isle of Wight have entered into negotiations regarding a voluntary change of the boundary line between the Town and the unincorporated portions of the County.  In order to make such a change, the Town and the County need to enter into an agreement that will bring within the Town a tract of land presently lying within the unincorporated portions of the County to the east of the existing Town boundaries commonly known as the Scott Farm.  In addition, the proposed change of boundaries will facilitate the provision of water and sewer services that are essential to the development of a residential subdivision to be located within portions of the territory to be incorporated into the Town.

Following the public hearing, adopt a motion to approve the resolution as presented.
