Protestors gathered outside as the Hanover Board met on Wednesday. "It is clear this location is not an appropriate one," Board Chair Sean M. Davis said, reading a statement unanimously approved by the Board. Before the meeting, the Hanover Board had an extensive closed session to discuss the proposed facility with its legal council. "In fact, Hanover County and its regional partners operate a regional detention facility, the Pamunkey Regional Jail, here in the county. "Simply put, a DHS facility at this property on Lake Ridge Parkway is not consistent with the established land use for the business, residential and commerce area."
