(WFXR)- The Botetourt County Board of Supervisors approved $24,000 in funding to cleanup and remediate a collapsed building in Eagle Rock.The structure, located at 72 Railroad Avenue, partially collapsed in November 2023. The property owner requested assistance from the county to remove the building. According to county officials, though funding was awarded through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), all seven bids from contractors exceeded the grant amount. County officials and VDEM rebalanced the available funding by removing optional grant line items, bringing the total available to $108,444. However, the adjusted amount was still shy $23,782 from the lowest bid. A.R. Coffey &amp; Sons, Inc. was awarded the contract. The county’s Board of Supervisors decided not to pursue additional funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), stating the process would be lengthy and did not guarantee approval. FEMA did grant a one-year extension to complete the project, with a deadline of September 30, 2027. </div></body>
