Department of Corrections introduces comfort dog Meatball to support staff and inmates during crises.

via NBC News Top Stories — State Senate leader Phil Berger had earned President Donald Trump's endorsement, but it wasn't enough to help fend off Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page.

District staff presented a plan to shift clinical operations for the day treatment program to Youth Haven, removing a projected $858,000 deficit from the school budget while keeping students enrolled in Rockingham County Schools and assigning a district EC teacher to serve IEP students.

State legislative candidates Sam Page and Seth Woodall, sheriff hopefuls and county commission and clerk candidates discussed public safety, education, mental health and county budgets at a multi-race forum in Rockingham County.

Council voted to approve text amendment T2025‑07 adjusting curb‑and‑gutter requirements with a tie‑in modification after deliberation, a formal recusal of Councilman Martin and public testimony from developers' counsel that raised legal and maintenance concerns.

The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners appointed Billy Parker as interim sheriff effective Aug. 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., following statute-driven party recommendation. The board later set interim annual pay at $119,346.49; both actions passed by voice vote.

Diane Sawyer, president and CEO of the Reedsville Chamber of Commerce, marked the 100th episode of her "News and Views" program by recounting the show's origins, naming early partners and stressing the chamber's role connecting businesses, nonprofits and city government.

Republican U.S. Senate candidates at a Rockingham County forum emphasized religious values, opposed abortion, and offered hardline proposals on immigration, campaign transparency and mental health — framing the midterm stakes in moral and fiscal terms.

After extended debate, Reidsville’s city council approved a text amendment to subdivision standards that creates density and watershed exceptions to curb‑and‑gutter requirements and requires tie‑in to existing storm infrastructure; the meeting included a contentious recusal discussion and public concern about who will maintain vegetated ditches.

NCDOT Division staff updated county officials on several projects — Barn Street bridge, Lindsay Bridge, NC 135 over US 220, Eden roundabout and a $2 million allocation for preliminary engineering on US 220 — and described timelines and public-engagement steps for environmental review and design.

Commissioners approved minutes, payroll and multiple personnel and contract items on Dec. 31, 2025, but voted to delay awarding a janitorial services contract for one week to review chemical use and add‑on costs. Multiple state representatives and residents urged full public disclosure of any proposed contract with ICE/DHS.

Rockingham County’s safety and risk manager told the board Travelers Insurance provided representation to commissioners named in a 2023 suit and that the North Carolina Department of Insurance closed its inquiry finding no evidence of criminal activity; he called public accusations against staff and insurers baseless and defamatory.

Commissioners outlined a multi-step review of a proposed ICE contract and heard hours of public testimony, with residents, faith leaders and elected officials urging the county not to house ICE detainees; commissioners said they will gather data, request clarifications from Homeland Security, schedule a special hearing and delay any vote for at least a month or two.

The Rockingham County Planning Board voted to recommend a text amendment establishing specific development rules for data processing facilities, including a conditional-use process in industrial zoning, a 25-acre minimum, closed-loop cooling, noise and vibration studies, a 60 dB property-line noise cap, and a minimum $75,000 decommissioning guarantee.

Dozens of residents urged Rockingham County commissioners to require independent environmental, stormwater and fiscal studies and to clarify legal limits on dwelling counts before taking final action on the Dalton Farm conditional‑zoning request (case 2026‑14).
