The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors (MCBS) conducted a closed work session on Friday, Nov. 17, to consider candidates for the vacant Hartfield District supervisor seat. The board is planning on making an appointment at the regular supervisors monthly meeting on Dec. 5, according to Middlesex County Administrator Matt Walker. Hartfield representative John B. Koontz Jr. recently resigned from the board because he moved his residency from the Hartfield District to the Town of Urbanna. When he resigned, there were two years and three months left on his current term. Koontz’s term expires Dec. 31, 2025.
