Henrico County officials affirmed a state of local emergency through a unanimous board of supervisors vote on Tuesday, and officials warned residents to stay cautious as more bad weather is forecasted this weekend.
The county had also made preparations last week to open the Henrico Sports & Events Center in case of an emergency but did not need to do so.
Henrico County's public schools will be closed all week, after officials announced Wednesday that they have cancelled classes for Thursday and Friday.
Tuckahoe District representative Jody Rogish had deferred the case last November after hearing concerns from neighbors about potential school overcrowding and wildlife impacts.
The board also deferred a case that would allow the county to exchange about 0.6 acres on Galaxie Road to the Islamic Center of Richmond.
