Lake Anna is a 13,000 acre reservoir in the rolling fields and forested triangle formed by the cities of Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, and Richmond, Virginia. The lake was created by Virginia Electric and Power Company, now Dominion Energy, Inc., in 1972 to serve as a recreational lake and provide cooling water for the North Anna Power Station.

Louisa Board of Supervisors Postpones Public Hearing to consider repeal of parts of Lake Anna Shoreline ordinance: Adopted in 2005, the ordinance lays out development and design standards for overwater structures like docks, boathouses and boardwalks and largely mirrors Dominion Energy’s development guidelines. Louisa County’s professional planning staff recommends that supervisors repeal two components of the ordinance, which address “Safe navigation” and “Neighbor policies,” because they mostly duplicate Dominion’s regulations. See Tammy Purcell's Engage Louisa for details on this proposed change in County Code HERE. In their March 4th meeting, Supervisor McCotter requested that the BOS postpone the PH and decision on the matter while the full ramifications are understood. Stay tuned for more info. |
