Discover Hanover County
Welcome to Hanover County, Va., one of the most vibrant and inviting counties in the state of Virginia. Whether it’s history, heritage or high tech, Hanover County offers endless possibilities for its residents and visitors. The smiles on the faces of almost 100,000 Virginians who call Hanover home is contagious. It comes from a lifestyle that highlights all that Central Virginia has to offer including quality schools, a growing and friendly economic environment, the best neighbors in the world and a firm foundation in heritage and tradition. Hanover County offers its residents the best of both worlds— a close proximity to the metropolitan Richmond area and easy access to the many rural areas of the region. It’s easy to understand the steady growth the county has experienced in recent years. With a vitalized real estate market, a flourishing business community and a local government that supports economic development and controlled growth, Hanover is poised to take its rightful place as one of Virginia’s most pleasant places to live. That’s something residents have long known as they take a lazy canoe trip down the South Anna River or enjoy the county’s numerous and varied recreational opportunities. The County’s Parks and Recreation Department offers year-round programs to citizens, with a varied menu of opportunities to live, learn and play. Situated 12 miles north of the city of Richmond, Hanover

The county offers quality educational opportunities for all of its citizens, with a wide variety of programs for everyone. The county’s four high schools, four middle schools and numerous elementaries all receive high recognition for instilling a sense of community pride in its students. Ashland, the county’s only incorporated city, is home to one of Virginia’s finest four year institutes of higher learning, Randolph-Macon College. The sleepy, railroad town atmosphere blends nicely with a vigorous academic setting, attracting students from around the globe. Hanover County is truly Virginia at its best with all the trimmings. Whether it’s a weekend getaway at a country bed and breakfast, an exciting trip down a lazy river, a visit to one of the county’s numerous battlefields, tasting one of our world famous tomatoes or experiencing one of the county’s exciting festivals and parades, Hanover County feels like home. With a history and tradition as varied as the people who live here, Hanover County offers something for everyone, whether it’s economic opportunity, recreational options or a family friendly atmosphere that makes Hanover a great place to live and work.

Hanover County Guide to Government Services Like all counties, towns and cities in the state, Hanover County is a political subdivision of the commonwealth of Virginia. Its form of government is the traditional board with a county administrator. Policies governing the county administration are set by the seven-member Board of Supervisors, who are elected from seven magisterial districts. Hanover County government offers a variety of services for about 100,000 residents. For information about general government administration, call 365-6000. The following is an alphabetical list of departments for general administration: Animal Control Animal Control is responsible for the enforcement of laws that protect the safety and rights of citizens and their animals.

The office operates an animal shelter, which houses lost or impounded animals, offers unwanted animals for adoption and monitors rabies cases. The office works with the Hanover Humane Society and other animal agencies. Leash laws for dogs vary depending on the area — the vast majority of the Mechanicsville area has such laws — and all dogs must have an animal license. Information about other pets should be obtained from the office. Also, people wishing to have wild or exotic animals must obtain a permit. The office and county shelter (or pound) are located in Taylor House Complex at the Hanover Courthouse. The county
shelter can be reached at 365-6485.

Building permits The Hanover County code requires a building permit to build, alter, repair, convert or demolish any structure in the county. The chief building inspector is Richard E. Bartell. Installation of fuel lines, septic systems, wells, signs, electrical and plumbing work also requires a permit. Applications for permits can be made at the building inspector’s office in the Administration Building at the Hanover Courthouse Complex. No construction may begin until the application is filed, approved and the appropriate fees paid. Fees vary for each permit. For details call the building inspector’s office at 365-6040.

A message from parks and recreation Thank you for your support of the Hanover County Parks and Recreation Department. For more than 30 years, the Department has offered programs and facilities to the Hanover citizens. The Parks and Recreation Department oversees 11 park sites and four boat landings throughout the County. Over the past few years, the Department developed additional amenities at many of these sites through a combination of citizen donations, cooperative agreements, grants and funding from the approved 2005 Bond Referendum. These additional amenities have allowed the Department to greater serve the needs of county citizens. The Parks and Recreation Department produces a program guide three times a year that includes information on senior citizen activities, special interest classes, youth programs, athletic leagues, bus tours, therapeutic recreation programs, park information, facility rentals and special events. Citizens are encouraged to use this guide, available in both hard-copy and electronic form, to obtain up-to-date program and facility information. The guide is available through the county website at www.co.hanover.va.us by clicking the Parks and Recreation Department link or you may call our administrative offices at 365-4695 or 779-7948 to inquire about our mailing list. Over the past three years, recreation program attendance has reached unprecedented levels. Overall, special interest class registration increased by 9 percent in 2008 alone and the Youth Summer Program, the Department’s largest youth activity, now exceeds 1,500 registered children at 13 elementary and middle school sites. Department staff solicit community input to uncover new program ideas and potential instructors. Special event attendance continues to increase through

In addition, the Department along with Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, the Herald-Progress and the Mechanicsville Local present the county’s largest annual event- the Hanover Tomato Festival, which drew 42,000 visitors to Pole Green Park in 2009. The Department also assists numerous youth and adult athletic organizations throughout the county by providing administrative support, marketing assistance and the use of its facilities for league and tournament play. In addition to the many athletic fields that staff manage and maintain, the Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the grounds maintenance of most county facilities including libraries, county offices, schools, Fire & EMS facilities, water treatment plants and the airport. In addition to the more than 2,000 acres of grounds maintenance at these facilities, Department staff are responsible for snow removal at various county sites. It is only through the enthusiasm, dedication and extraordinary talents of our staff, as well as the partnerships and other assistance made available to us within the community, that the Parks and Recreation Department is able to make the County an even greater place to live and recreate. On behalf of the Hanover County Parks and Recreation Department, I encourage each of you to join last year’s record 1,287,000 visitors and make a Hanover County park your next destination.

Chairman promotes Hanover County’s lifestyle “People, tradition and spirit.” This is Hanover County’s official mission statement. But it’s not just words. I’ll admit I’m a little biased on this subject, but I think there is no better place to live than Hanover County. If you like the country and lots of privacy, much of our county is rural and is planned to stay that way for decades to come. For those who enjoy the social pleasures of suburban living, we have some of the finest subdivisions in the region. And wherever in Hanover we choose to live, we’re not that far from the amenities of the Richmond Region. This year’s citizens’ survey confirmed that many Hanoverians share my ‘bias’. Ninety-six percent of respondents rated Hanover an excellent or good place to live. Ninety-five percent considered the County an excellent or good place to raise children. And 97 percent of respondents said they felt safe in their neighborhoods during the day. These are remarkably high numbers for any locality. I think our sense of community makes us unique. Our tax rates stay low in part because Hanoverians volunteer in great numbers to support our award-winning schools and help provide fire and emergency medical services, for example. We look out for our most vulnerable community members by doing things like winterizing homes and collecting school supplies for children who otherwise couldn’t afford them. Our businesses also pitch in – just a few weeks ago, a Hanover County business was named the Small Employer of
the Year by the National Association for Persons in Supported Employment. Supported Employment is a program that works with adults who have disabilities but who nevertheless want to work in competitive positions. We value the work ethic of these individuals and applaud everyone who eases their road in life. I recently saw an interesting statistic. There are three counties in the United States that have a AAA bond rating from two ratings agencies and that have also been named as among the nation’s “100 Best Communities for Youth” in the past two years in which this recognition was given. Hanover County is one of the three, and the smallest by far. So I’m proud of Hanover and all we have accomplished. As I’m writing this, the economy everywhere is tough. We’re going to have to pull together to get through it. I know we will. From Patrick Henry onward, Hanoverians have risen to the challenge. We’re the people, it’s our tradition and we have the spirit. On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, I welcome you and look forward to working beside you to make Hanover an even better place to live, work and play. I also thank the Mechanicsville Local for this opportunity to speak to you and I hope you will find the information within this publication useful throughout the year. John E.

A Message from Sheriff V. Stuart Cook The Hanover Sheriff’s Office has been led by Col. V. Stuart Cook since his appointment on Aug. 2, 1990. Since then, Cook has been overwhelmingly re-elected in 1991, 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2007, when he captured his fifth term. Prior to serving as the sheriff of Hanover County, Cook retired as Deputy Chief of the Investigative Operations at the Richmond Bureau of Police. Cook has just completed 44 years in law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office is the principal provider of law enforcement services for Hanover, providing service to a population just over 100,000 who reside within 472 square miles. Since July 1, 2008, the Sheriff’s Office has operated with 201 sworn law enforcement employees. More than 65 percent of the sworn personnel are assigned to the Patrol Division, which work in three shifts to provide 24-hour availability. In 2008 alone, the Patrol Division responded to more than 41,000 calls for service. Additionally, there are 15 sworn officers assigned to all primary and secondary schools throughout the county. The remainder of the sworn person-
nel are assigned to the Investigative and Administrative Divisions. These officers serve in positions such as General Investigations, Street Crimes, Narcotics, Personnel, Training, Crime Prevention, Budget Management, Criminal Intelligence, Professional Standards, and Court Services. In addition nine volunteer reserve officers serve the county. The Crime Prevention Unit provides numerous seminars to civic, church, and business groups to better educate the public on crime prevention techniques. This partnership is helps maintain a
low crime rate and attributes greatly to office’s high clearance. “Each year, we are truly honored to receive the support and cooperation from so many of you. Since I became your Sheriff in 1990, we have repeatedly witnessed a multitude of acts of kindness from our citizens, who do not hesitate to write letters or call the Sheriff’s Office to commend the officers and staff on their constant level of professionalism. Hanover County is fortunate in that we enjoy a low crime rate, in part because we can rely on your cooperation and support. Our ability to provide quality law enforcement is because we enjoy collective efforts put forth by each of you. Thank you for all that you do on our behalf and on behalf of your community,� said Cook. The Sheriff’s Office is one of only a few law enforcement agencies in the state that holds both international and state accreditation and strives to provide the most professional and courteous law enforcement services available. see Sheriff> page 14

Mechanicsville offers inviting gateway Located just 12 miles from Richmond, Mechanicsville has long prided itself on its unique identity as a close knit, independent community. Many Hanoverians think of the small village adjacent to the landmark windmill as downtown Hanover. It’s home to a variety of businesses and shops that offer residents a chance to meet and greet the folks who run the operations. Few local politicians have passed up a chance to sit down at the Mechanicsville Pharmacy to meet and greet and throw down the political gauntlet. Mechanicsville is just that kind of place. The residents feel a sense of community and take pride in their unique village. Just down the street on Mechanicsville turnpike, there’s a variety of retail opportunities from small strip malls to medium sized shopping centers with major grocery chains at the anchor. It’s truly a retail paradise as shoppers enjoy the value of nationally recognized products and outlets, but get that hometown shopping experience. It’s a uniqueness that is found throughout Mechanicsville. Even with the small town feel, the 24,000 people who call Mechanicsville home have witnessed phenomenal growth in the past decades and the area now hosts many national businesses, well recognized chains, Wal-Mart and Home Depot, and local stalwarts, like Ukrop’s. Mechanicsville is home to some of the county’s most noteworthy celebrations including the Hanover Tomato Festival, the annual Christmas Parade and numerous civic celebrations throughout the year.

Ashland: Hanover’s Center of the Universe More than 6,000 Hanover residents call Ashland home. It’s the county’s only incorporated town, governed by its town council and patrolled with its own police force. The quaint atmosphere and unique architecture attract thousands to Ashland each year for its many festivals and fairs. Founded in the 1840s as a resort town, the heart of the town is located on the railroad tracks. From the tiny train station located across from Randolph Macon College, you can go anywhere in the region with regular Amtrak service. The seven square mile town offers residents a unique lifestyle, complete with village style streets and jogging paths, with easy access to the larger city comforts. It’s a comfortable blend of the old and new, and town officials plan to keep it that way with strategic planning for the future. The town’s strategic location has earned Ashland its nickname the “Center of the Universe.” For many residents, it’s just that with its eclectic blend of shops, restaurants and culture. Ashland is governed by a town council consisting of a mayor, vice mayor and three additional members. With terms expiring in 2010, Faye Prichard is the mayor and William C. Martin is the vice mayor. Elected members of the council include George Spagna, Ned Henson and Terri Winston-Abri. The council meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month in Council Chambers in Town Hall at 101 Thompson Street. The Town of Ashland also maintains a 25-man plus police force headed by Douglas A. Goodman.
