📰 News we're reading
• An Additional 40 Virginia Localities Receive USDA Drought Disaster Designations (virginianreview.com) — Hanover County farmers are now eligible for USDA Farm Service Agency drought disaster assistance, including emergency loans, after the county received an official disaster designation. Producers have eight months from the declaration date to apply and must meet FSA requirements. The designation reflects severe drought conditions and opens access to federal relief programs. 
• For a peaceful drive, swap I-95 for 301 (thebeaconnewspapers.com) — A scenic alternative to I-95 takes travelers down Route 301, including a stop at historic Hanover Tavern in Hanover for Cherry Bounce and local fare. The piece traces sites from Civil War history to Caroline County’s Secretariat landmarks, ending in Richmond. It highlights Hanover Tavern’s evolution into a theater-restaurant that still anchors community life.
• The Richmonder will offer public notices soon, pending court approval (richmonder.org) — Hanover County residents may soon see legally required public notices, like zoning changes and board meetings, published online by The Richmonder if local courts approve. The outlet has met Virginia’s criteria and is petitioning judges in Hanover and neighboring jurisdictions. If approved, residents could track more government actions from home through a dedicated notices service.
