Local officials are exploring investing in a new agriculture complex that would serve both Amherst and Nelson counties.
Chris Bryant, a member of the Amherst County Agriculture Committee, presented the idea of a joint venture between the two counties during the Nelson County Board of Supervisorsâ Jan. 12 meeting. With the greenlight from supervisors following the presentation, the committee can begin working with local government in both counties to move forward with the initial stages of the project.
The Nelson board has joined Amherst County in funding a feasibility study of the project. No dollar amounts were discussed at the Nelson meeting.
