In July, Dominion Energy announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) from leading SMR nuclear technology companies to evaluate the feasibility of developing an SMR at the company’s North Anna Power Station here in Louisa County. While the RFP is not a commitment to build, it is an important first step in evaluating the technology and the feasibility of developing it at North Anna. 

Thanks to all the "Deputies, Assistants and Other local government employees" that joined us today for a collaborative learning opportunity at the North Anna Nuclear Information Center. A special thanks to Deputy County Administrator Christopher Coon, ICMA-CM for bringing the group together and developing fun, interactive sessions.

Yesterday, we celebrated the opening of Better Future Farms in Louisa County. Providing job opportunities to area residents, the next-generation hydroponic greenhouse will produce several million pounds of high-quality leafy greens each year. The project was made possible by Generate Capital (a leading sustainable infrastructure investment and operating platform), an Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund grant with a local funds match, and a sales agreement with Taylor Farms (the nation’s largest salad producer). The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, Louisa County Economic Development (led by the amazing Andy Wade) and our Industrial Development Authority helped secure the project for the Commonwealth with support from Rappahannock Electric Cooperative and many others.
