Churchville attorney Francis Chester said Thursday the response to his petition drive to roll back Augusta County’s property values to 2005 and set aside the current reassessment has been strong.

“You would not believe the phone calls and people coming into the office,’’ Chester said.

One person asked for 15 petitions to circulate to county property owners, he said.

Chester plans to present the petitions to the Augusta County Board of Supervisors at the board’s March 11 meeting.
