Why it matters
The hazardous-materials training facility uses modular classrooms and training props (including railcars and transport trailers) for practical and classroom training; county staff said the facility supports both local training needs and statewide responder training delivered by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. Replacing aging classroom trailers with new modular units was presented as a practical measure to sustain that regional training capability.
Ending
No items were pulled for separate discussion after public and board questions; the board approved the consent calendar by unanimous roll call.
