After closed meeting, supervisors rank engineering firms and approve $33,801 in incentive funding
Summary
Following an executive session, the board ranked school facilities engineering firms (SEH Inc. No. 1) and authorized negotiations with the top firm; the board also approved a $33,801 appropriation to the county IDA for tax incentives to support a Southwest Compressor project.
After convening an executive closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act exception (Va. Code §2.2‑3711), the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors ranked three school facilities engineering firms and authorized staff to enter negotiations with the top‑ranked firm.
Mister Presley (speaker 8) moved that the firms be ranked SEH Incorporated as number one, Thompson Litton number two, and LPA Design Studios number three, and that the county enter negotiations with the top‑ranked firm; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
In the same post‑executive session business, the board approved an appropriation of $33,801 to the Tazewell County Industrial Development Authority for real and personal property tax incentives intended to support Southwest Compressor and Plumbing Packings Inc., with the appropriation carried on a subsequent motion.
The board did not discuss detailed contract terms during open session; staff said negotiations would proceed with the top‑ranked firm and that the IDA funding supports economic development incentives tied to private project commitments.
