The Virginia Tobacco Commission voted to approve a $500,000 grant toward engineering and design of an improved natural gas gate at the Southern Virginia Megasite at Berry Hill in Pittsylvania County.
The commission approved the grant during its meeting Wednesday in Ewing in southwest Virginia.
“Prospect interest in the Southern Virginia Megasite at Berry Hill makes it imperative that engineering design for the natural gas gate to proceed so that the required gas gate infrastructure can be constructed to provide natural gas service to the property,” according to staff comments on the commission agenda.
The grant is for no more than 50% of a required match for funding from the Virginia Economic Development Partnership’s Virginia Business Ready Site Program.
