Below is the Notice of Meeting for the Historic Preservation Review Board meeting on Wednesday, November 5, 2025:
🍁 It’s Fall, y’all! 🍂 The air is crisp, the sweaters are cozy, and the leaves are showing off their best colors! 😍 But as those beautiful leaves start to fall, we need your help! 🙌
Please lend a hand (and maybe a rake 😉) by keeping your leaves out of the street 🚫🛣️. When leaves pile up in the roadway, they can block drains and cause flooding 💧— plus, it makes extra work for our awesome Public Works crew 💪🚛.
Let’s work together to keep our community clean, safe, and picture-perfect this season! 🏡✨ Share with your neighbors to spread the word! 🌟

Election Day isn’t just for ballots—it's the perfect time to clear out your bulk trash too!
November Bulk Trash Pick-Up falls on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4 —place your big items at the curb and let us haul them away. Make room for pumpkins, pies, and Thanksgiving guests!
Local food pantries are running critically low. One food bank alone will serve over 10,000 people in the month of November, and they currently only have 2,000 cans on hand!
Join the Town of Abingdon Community Food Drive by donating non-perishable items at Town Hall, the Coomes Recreation Center, and the Abingdon Visitor Center. We will also be collecting food donations at the Abingdon Police Department Blood Drive on Friday, October 24, 2025, from 10-5pm.
Items needed include: canned items, such as fruit, vegetables, soups, meats, pasta, etc., and other items such as peanut butter (small jars), cereals, crackers, etc.
Every can and box helps feed a neighbor!

Park Street Drainage and Pedestrian Improvement Project
The Park Street Drainage and Pedestrian Improvement Project is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 6, 2025. This project will affect the section of Pecan Street from the railroad to the Park Street intersection and then proceed along Park Street to the intersection with Court Street. Traffic control will be established to allow controlled passage through the work zone. The project timeline is 240 calendar days to final completion. This project will improve storm water drainage systems, install new curb and gutters, new brick sidewalks, and lighting along this corridor.
We understand the impact this will have on travel along this section of town but our contractor, Jones Road and Bridge, is mindful of the citizens and the needs of the community and will work to make this work go quickly and reduce impacts. This project will be a wonderful addition to our community, and we are glad to see this project kickoff.
