EDA: MOU with schools and Laurel Ridge nearly ready to support Triplett Tech Heavy Equipment credential
Summary
EDA legal counsel is finalizing a memorandum of understanding with Shenandoah County Public Schools and Laurel Ridge Community College so Triplett Tech students can complete a Heavy Equipment Operator credential; the MOU was expected to be ready March 19, 2026, and will enable grant payments once executed.
Shenandoah County Economic Development Authority staff told the board March 18 that legal counsel was finalizing a memorandum of understanding intended to allow Triplett Tech students to complete the Heavy Equipment Operator credential through a partnership with Shenandoah County Public Schools and Laurel Ridge Community College.
EDA Secretary Jenna French said attorney Jordan Bowman is working on the MOU and that, once the document is complete and reviewed, the EDA will be prepared to make any necessary grant payments to support student credentials. French told the board the MOU should be ready for review on March 19, 2026.
Board members did not record amendments to the MOU in the minutes. The MOU was discussed in the context of the EDA’s financial report and workforce-support priorities; the board later authorized a separate draw-down fund to support FastForward credential programs for adult residents.
