The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its first meeting of 2023 to approve two expenditures for the county’s police department. One of the Jan. 4 votes gave the go-ahead for the $123,635 purchase of new mobile radios for school resource officers from Loudoun Communications. Also approved were five 2023 Chevrolet Tahoes to be utilized by the K-9 Unit, with the $188,215 purchase from Hardy Chevrolet made possible through funding generated by the Red Speed Camera initiative.
In other business, the board approved the emergency purchase of four Ford Rangers costing $128,400 for the Tax Assessors Office. The purchase from Wade Ford constitutes an emergency due to the nationwide shortage of vehicles that are in stock and available, officials said.
