| Revered former Eastern Shore State Delegate and Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Robert S. Bloxom was joined by a host of State Political leaders for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Agricultural complex in Melfa. Former Delegate Bloxom broke ground with our current Delegate Lynwood Lewis, our State Senator Ralph Northam and Accomac County board of supervisors member Wanda Thornton. Governor Bob McDonnell; Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Todd Haymore; and Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Matt Lohr also raised shovels to join the ceremony. |

The complex will house a centralized, modern facility for freezing and storing fresh seafood products at the site of the Eastern Shore Farmers’ Market. The new system allows fishermen to unload product directly at the dock for sale to wholesale and retail outlets represented there. With blast freezing and freezer storage, fishermen can spread out the catch instead of flooding the market, and they can add value to the product, thus commanding a higher price. In addition, a new office facility for VDACS will be built to consolidate agency marketing and consumer protection services into one location. Office space for the Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District will also be provided in the new office building. Construction work will begin in June 2010, with final completion scheduled for the summer of 2011. |

After the ceremony, the visiting state officials and local officials greeted Eastern Shore constituents and friends. |
