Martin Kelley, a member of Putnam Group, voiced approval for the incentive-based waivers. These incentives are intended to encourage the creation and preservation of family-wage jobs, especially in areas with high unemployment. He hopes the facility will hold a grand opening sometime around February.

Town council had previously sent the request to the finance committee for consideration. He argued that it would be more appropriate to make the waiver incentive-based instead of simply giving it away. The Virginia Prepaid Education Program "VPEP" is state program that allows Virginia families to pre-pay future college tuition and mandatory fees at the current rate.
