Regional resilience and economic development teams brief supervisors on local projects
Summary
UVA’s RAFT partnership and the Mt. Rogers Regional Partnership updated the Board on ongoing resilience work and regional economic-development activities, describing multi-county collaboration and local projects in Carroll County.
Representatives from two regional initiatives briefed the Board March 9 on work affecting Carroll County.
Ian Baxter of the UVA Weldon Cooper Center said RAFT (UVA, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion University) has been working in Carroll County since last spring and reviewed five action items and ongoing projects; he said the partnership expects to remain engaged for several more months. Ashlyn Shrewsberry, executive director of the Mt. Rogers Regional Partnership, described the organization’s role supporting Wythe, Smyth, Bland, Carroll, Grayson and the City of Galax, summarized current activities and upcoming fiscal-year projects, and offered ongoing support to county staff.
Supervisor Tracy Moore asked Shrewsberry to remain after the meeting for follow-up, and Shrewsberry agreed. Both presentations were informational and no Board action was taken that night.
