The Town of Goshen celebrated the grand opening of its new Town Hall on July 9. The newly renovated structure was the Town’s first school building constructed in 1870, but it later functioned as a private residence until the Town acquired it in 2022. The acquisition and renovation of the new Town Hall was funded through a $255,000 Congressionally Directed Spending allocation through Senator Warner and Senator Kaine’s Office, as well as local donations.
The Town Hall will also provide a permanent space for a food pantry operated by the Rockbridge Area Relief Association and local volunteers. The food pantry has previously operated in Goshen on a mobile basis. If funded, the Town will use a CDBG Community Improvement Grant to construct a Community Service Facility as an addition to the Town Hall starting next year.
