Your FOIA request has been received, unfortunately, we will be unable to honor your request for the following reason:

$(Q#@(B The request was not made by a Virginia-based organization
Each year, local governments throughout the Commonwealth receive thousands of similar requests from national businesses and other organizations. In an effort safeguard the taxpayer$B!G(Bs interests, out of state residents and / or organizations are not entitled to make Freedom of Information Act requests to local governments in Virginia ($B!x(B 2.2-3704.A).

Though we strive for transparency, your request would require staff members of the county administrator$B!G(Bs office to spend several hours copying, scanning and possibly redacting large portions of the requested documents, placing an undue strain on the county$B!G(Bs limited staff. Therefore, we are invoking our right not to honor this request, in compliance with the Code of Virginia, on the above stated grounds.

Thank you,
