The approved funding and scope
Henry County says its Board of Supervisors approved an additional $5,164,497 appropriation for the Beaver Creek Drive extension at Patriot Centre Industrial Park. The project would extend the road about 5,122 feet, or 0.97 miles, with drainage and pavement striping.
The county lists federal and state funding sources and says it will administer the work through VDOT's Locally Administered Projects program. The finished extension is expected to enter the state highway system.
Appropriation is not completion
The approval establishes funding authority and project direction, not a completed roadway, construction start, final cost or guaranteed business investment. Later procurement and field records control those facts.
The county says the extension is intended to improve industrial access and reach additional lots. This brief does not turn that purpose into a promise of a particular employer or job total.
