Martinsville City Council will meet today to consider reversion to town status. Earlier this year, it looked at a five-year financial forecast. The city manager says it shows the city could have to reduce or cut services in the future. The Henry County Board of Supervisors wants the General Assembly to pass legislation letting voters decide if a city could revert.

As we’ve reported, a vote on reversion could happen before the city passes its next budget, which is due by the June 30th.
