Bennett School Demolition Change Order for Judicial Center Expansion

Board approved a change order (item 6F, pulled from consent) authorizing consultants to study memorialization while moving forward with demolition of the ~117-year-old Bennett School to enable the Judicial Center expansion. Discussion covered state-mandated court space requirements, asbestos/lead/mold remediation (~1-year demolition), ground-penetrating radar for possible graves (24-30 months total if remains found), and lack of financial contribution from City of Manassas. Motion passed seven to one with Supervisor Stewart voting nay.

  • Consultant change order to study memorialization of the building
  • state-mandated processes for any human remains or artifacts found
