In a 7-0 vote, the Board of Superviors on January 28 authorized hearings for a proposed amendment to the noise ordinance. The amendment is an exception applying to such activities as football games or other outdoor school activities.

This amendment is a response by the County to citizen complaints of excessive noise levels from Hanover High School at football games and band practice.

The Planning Commission and the Supervisors will hold public hearings on the amendment, with a vote likely in May.
