Powhatan County, Virginia
Powhatan County is the western edge of the Richmond metro, a high-income residential county reached by US-60 and Route 288 that has grown on large-lot subdivisions rather than employment. Public water and sewer are limited to a small service area around the courthouse village and the eastern county line, so septic and well capacity plus a deliberately rural comprehensive plan are the binding constraints on commercial and higher-density development.
