The Industrial Development Authority of Halifax County is pleased to announce that, with the assistance of the Virginia Tobacco Commission, we are about to begin Phase 2 of the renovations to Green View Advanced Manufacturing & Training Center.
You can find the RFP for this phase of work on our website under the RFP's link.
The IDA continues its efforts to renovate the site, building exterior and potions of the building interior at Green View. It is anticipated that this will take up to five years and cost $4.5M. The IDA has received a grant from the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission and Halifax County, Virginia for the continued improvements of Green View. The property is located on Green's Folly Road in Halifax County. It contains 33.87 acres, and an existing abandoned 400,000SF manufacturing plant with outbuildings, formerly known as Daystrom.
The deadline to respond to the RFP is February 21, 2013.
Upskilling local workers to fill high-demand jobs is the aim of a new maintenance mechanic training program offered at the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center.
