ACSA authorizes executive director to begin locating sites for operations center
Summary
The board authorized the executive director to begin locating developable sites (preferably in Madison Heights) for a proposed operations center based on a completed needs study recommending roughly 12,000 sq. ft. on about 3 acres.
The Amherst County Service Authority voted Jan. 6 to authorize its executive director to begin seeking developable sites for a proposed operations center following a facilities needs study completed Dec. 11 by Virginia A and E (contracted with Hurt & Profit). The study recommends approximately 12,000 square feet of building space on roughly 3 acres to support current and future operations.
Board discussion focused on keeping the facility near Madison Heights to centralize services and make the building accessible to customers and field crews. Members emphasized improving field crew working conditions (including showers and adequate sewage) and preserving convenient customer access. The board approved a motion authorizing staff to locate suitable sites and return recommendations for board approval.
Next steps: Staff will search for county-owned or other developable properties, coordinate with the county administrator on potential sites, and bring candidate sites and cost estimates back to the board.
