Jeff Crate of Draper Aden Associates told the supervisors that the land, near the intersection of Virginia 807 and Virginia 24, would likely prove the least expensive and most geologically suitable of three final sites Draper Aden had focused on in recent months.
Supervisors will take public comments about the site, which is owned by Gross Farm and Land Corp., and the two other possible sites in a hearing at the Bedford Educational Center at 7:30 p.m. today.
On another matter, the board rejected a Moneta resident's plan to turn his home into a bed and breakfast inn.
Despite his neighbors' opposition, Earles' idea to have paying guests in his six-bedroom home on Smith Mountain Lake scored 107.5 points under the county's Land Use Guidance System. It was the first project with a high score - one over 100 points - to be turned down by the supervisors since the county's unusual zoning ordinance came into effect last October.
