DINWIDDIE - A respected member of the community was recognized by the region's leading economic development organization for his tireless efforts to support Dinwiddie and help to support the group in its efforts to spark business growth in the localities they serve.
During last month's regular meeting of the Dinwiddie Board of Supervisors, members of Virginia's Gateway Region board of directors presented a resolution in recognition of Milton Hargrave, Jr., praising him and giving him a heartfelt thank you for his many years of service to the board, which came to an end in December of last year.
Hargrave had served with Virginia's Gateway Region dating back to 1968, when the chairman of the board of supervisors at that time suggested that Hargrave, being a newly elected member of the board at that time, would do well to represent Dinwiddie as part of the Appomattox Basin Industrial Development Corporation, the group's name at that time.
