The long-running debate over what to do about Halifax County High School was settled Monday night as members of the Halifax County Board of Supervisors voted to borrow $135 million for school construction and create a $109 million project budget for a new HCHS facility.
Gov. Ralph Northam Jan. 30 appointed Halifax County Board of Supervisors Chairman, the Honorable Hubert Pannell, to the Southern Virginia Higher Education Centerâs Board of Trustees.
The governor also reappointed Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative and EMPOWER Broadband, Inc., CEO Mr. John Lee to the Board of Trustees.
Pannell and Lee have been appointed to serve four-year terms.
âThe SVHEC has been blessed with a long history of solid board leadership. Chairman Pannellâs appointment to the SVHEC Board of Trustees follows in this tradition, said Dr. Betty Adams, SVHEC Executive Director. His extensive record of community service, including his recent and impeccable leadership of the Halifax County Board of Supervisors during the pandemic, will serve us well.âÂ
