Supervisors Agree To Funds For Goshen

by Ed Smith

Rockbridge County on Monday came to the aid of the town of Goshen.

The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to provide up to $250,000 to Goshen so it can proceed with a $2.7 million project to replace the town’s aging water system.

The county’s help was needed because the town’s indebtedness was jeopardizing its ability to take out a $250,000 loan with the Virginia Department of Health. Had the snafu not been resolved by today, Tuesday, at noon, the town stood to lose more than $2 million it’s slated to receive in federal stimulus funding for the project.
