The Bristol Virginia City Council Has Unanimously Approved A 5% Tax Increase On The Former Virginia Intermont College Campus, Now Designated As Blighted. This Increase Applies To 14 Parcels On The Campus, Including All Buildings On Moore Street. The Decision Follows An Appraisal That Found The Buildings Dilapidated. Council Members Hope The Tax Hike Will Prompt The Property’s Owner To Address The Situation, Which Has Become A Public Concern. The Move Comes After A Recent Fire In The Former Vi Library And Ongoing Issues With The Property’s Maintenance.
