Officials report progress on Randolph Henry school PPEA work; community meeting planned after cost finalization
Summary
County staff reported core sampling is complete and mechanical drawings nearly finished for the Randolph Henry project; they are awaiting equipment from Dominion and expect state school-construction-branch review in about four weeks before scheduling a community meeting on final costs and next steps.
Brett, speaking for Dr. Mason, told the board the Randolph Henry school project under the PPEA process is advancing through design and site work.
"Drilling of core samples is complete as we expect to get results back in the next few days. The mechanical drawings are almost complete," Brett said. He added that the county is waiting on Dominion to deliver equipment required for an electrical consolidation and that septic‑line rerouting drawings are finished and will begin construction in the next few days.
Staff said they have applied to the state school‑construction branch and expect to hear back in about four weeks; the grant, if awarded, would not likely cover the entire project cost but could be significant. Brett said staff and the superintendent are exploring preliminary bond financing options and will schedule a community meeting to present the finalized not‑to‑exceed cost and answer citizen questions before moving forward.
The board did not take action today; staff encouraged supervisors to route questions about the PPA process to Brett so communication comes from a single source.
