RICHLANDS, Va. — Richlands High School will soon officially be in the town of Richlands.
The Tazewell County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 Tuesday to approve a boundary adjustment plan by the town of Richlands that would bring Richlands High School, Richlands Middle School, Richlands Elementary School and the Gateway Shopping Center into the municipal limits of Richlands.
A similar boundary adjustment plan proposed by the town of Cedar Bluff also sought to take in the three schools and the shopping center complex.
The approval of the motion was contingent upon the town of Richlands agreeing to provide a school resource officer to the area, County Attorney Eric Young said.
