The EDA said it will pursue engineering design for a water storage tank at Rich Creek Corporate Park that could serve nearby communities and act as a backup for the Town of Stuart's system.

James Houchins, Patrick County’s Director of Economic Development & Tourism, told the joint EDA/PSA meeting on Jan. 14 that the EDA will soon undertake engineering design work for a water storage tank at Rich Creek Corporate Park. He said the tank could serve surrounding communities and also operate as a backup if the Town of Stuart’s water system experienced issues.

Board members treated the engineering design as a near-term technical step that would inform capacity, costs and potential service areas. No dollar amounts or firm timelines were recorded at the meeting; Houchins indicated that final scope and scheduling would follow the design work and coordination with the Town of Stuart and PSA.
