Marquis J. Bolton, state property management administrator, presented plaques to Jack Hoback, director of training at the Alliance Tractor Trailer Training Center, and Sheriff Louis Barber. The third award will go to Richard C. Hudson, financial and administrative services dean at Southwest Virginia Community College near Richlands.
The awards program was held at the Wytheville surplus-property distribution center, which moved from Ivanhoe in 1985.
Virginia has two centers - the other is in Richmond - with warehouses full of typewriters, tubing, furniture, forklifts and hundreds of other surplus items for sale to government agencies at low prices.
Alliance has given its student drivers training by having them transport surplus equipment to both centers for the past two years at no cost to the state.
Barber used surplus property from the Richmond and Wytheville centers on such projects as equipping the remodeled Montgomery County Jail in 1988, obtaining hand tools for prisoner road crews working on litter control and other jobs, and building a communications tower jointly with Blacksburg.
