PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY -- The Prince William County Board of Supervisors is considering to fund a Targeted Industry and Competitive Analysis Study, requiring a transfer of $125,000 from contingency to the Department of Economic Development Fiscal Year 2018 budget to conduct the study.
Gainesville District Supervisor Peter Candland moved to table the measure during the Board's Sept. 5, 2017, and requested more information from members of county's economic development staff.
"We're hiring so many consultants, and it seems our own economic development staff has to say," said Candland. "We send them to so many conferences; it would be a good idea to get their opinion."
The county has long touted its "targeted industry" list as a guiding document used to identify which types of companies it would like to attract to the region. The current list includes biosecurity, drug manufacturing, data centers, federal contractors, to short-haul trucking operations, like trucking firm that delivers food to retail stores.
