Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Wednesday that the state will provide the Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corp. (EDC) $500,000 toward developing the Commonwealth Crossing Business Centre.
The grant is the largest of eight totaling almost $1.19 million awarded by the Virginia Business Ready Sites Program on Wednesday to industrial park projects statewide, according to information from the governor’s office.
EDC President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Heath, EDC Director of Research and Operations Spencer Johnson, Henry County Administrator Tim Hall and Deputy County Administrator Dale Wagoner all did not respond to requests for comment on the grant Wednesday afternoon.
