Washington County, Virginia Board of Supervisors have rejected Abingdon's proposal to annex more land by boundary adjustment. The town made the proposal to the county three months ago. Supervisors say that they couldn't find a compelling reason to grant the request. Abingdon wants to increase the size of their town by annexing portions of land to the north, south, east and west. It's an area of about 4,500 acres. Town leaders will reassess the situation and may try to annex those areas through other means. (jb)
