Domestic violence and sexual assault are often difficult topics to bring up. However, in the past few years, people have become more aware and vocal about these topics.
BERRYVILLEÂ â Five years from now, Clarke County residents may be able to have all of their human services needs handled in one location.
A five-year capital improvement plan (CIP) includes the construction or acquisition of a joint building for the Clarke County Department of Social Services (DSS), the Lord Fairfax Health District s local office and possibly Northwestern Community Services. The latter currently doesn t have an office in the county.Â
The CIP estimates the building s construction cost at $1.5 million and recommends that funding be provided in fiscal 2026, the last year covered by the document.
It s the largest single expense listed in the plan, which the Clarke County Board of Supervisors recently adopted.
