Board authorizes feasibility study and CIP entry for Pocahontas Landmark Center
Summary
The Powhatan Board approved a resolution directing staff to prepare an RFP and add a feasibility study for the Pocahontas Landmark Center to the FY26 CIP so the county and school board can better understand renovation costs and implications; staff said the action will allow use of prior FY25 debt funding to pay for the study.
The board unanimously approved a resolution to fund and begin a feasibility study of the Pocahontas Landmark Center.
County staff told the board the resolution "would direct county and school staff to work together to develop an issue or request for proposals for a feasibility study for Pocahontas Landmark Center," a step intended to provide both boards with accurate cost and renovation data. Staff also said adding the study to the FY26 CIP makes it possible to use previously allocated FY25 debt funding for the work.
Several supervisors described the vote as a collaborative step with the school board and said the intent is to present objective information to the community to inform future decisions about the facility. The board approved the resolution by voice vote with no opposition.
