Montgomery County Economic Development Meeting 10-20-2026 Part 1

The Montgomery County economic development meeting on October 20, 2026, approved the agenda, the September 15 minutes, and the treasurer’s report. County IT staff presented instructions for annual cybersecurity-awareness training, which is now aligned with the county’s annual HR training schedule. Members were asked to complete the training as soon as possible; no training purchase or vendor decision was discussed.

The treasurer’s report noted Town of Blacksburg façade-grant payments that will be passed through to the Economic Development Authority under its agreement with the town, with county finance mailing checks to grant recipients as directed. Expenses were reported below projections, and a United Way payment remained to be addressed. No dollar amounts, contract awards, or other procurement actions were identified. The board also voted to enter closed session under the reasons stated in the agenda.
