• How many pets can Virginians own? State code and law explained (progress-index.com) — If you live in Colonial Heights, city rules cap you at four cats or dogs per household unless City Council grants special approval for more. A recent Prince George County house fire involving 25 cats sparked a broader look at how Virginia law leaves pet limits to each locality, while still requiring all companion animals receive adequate care and shelter statewide.
   

• Notice of APP for Certificate of Pub Conv. (loudountimes.com) — Colonial Heights is included in a proposed service area for a new common-carrier transportation company that also plans to move Medicaid patients statewide.
