- First at 10:45am the Governor cut the ribbon on our new Stafford Center in Aquia Park. About 100 guests witnessed the ceremony and toured our new center, which has 3 standard classrooms, one computer classroom, a computer lab, and an office for faculty. The center will be open for classes to begin on August 20.
- Next, the Governor spoke at a Business Sales Growth Seminar held at our Fredericksburg Area Campus, presented by the Virginia Department of Business Assistance and cosponsor ted by Germanna Community College, Fredericksburg Department of Economic
Development, Spotsylvania County Department of Economic Development, Stafford County Department of Economic Development, Fredericksburg Regional Alliance and Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce. - There followed a luncheon sponsored by Spotsylvania County Department of Economic Development,and Fredericksburg Regional Alliance on our FAC campus. Thanks always to Gene Bailey for his support of Germanna.
I deeply appreciate all of the work done by college staff to get the new center ready, make arrangements for the Governor's visit, and support the three events in the same day.
I also appreciate Michael Kelly's work in the Governor's Office. He made the schedule go very smoothly.
Finally, I want to thank Stafford County Government for all of their support, Stafford County Economic Development Authority for their investment in Germanna and the new center, Jack Rowley for his help in getting the process going, and the Harts at Virginia Properties for their collaboration and ability to develop the center to our specifications in an amazingly short time.
It was a very good day, and we are happy that we can continue to serve our citizens, communities and businesses in these ways despite the budget cuts and hard times.
