Goochland County wants to highlight and thank Eternal Stoneworks for being a great corporate citizen and partner! During the overnight road closures on Ashland Road on March 29th, Eternal Stoneworks opened their space to Goochland County Fire-Rescue. This allowed our Fire-Rescue crews to stage personnel and equipment north of the road closures to ensure a quick response to any potential emergency. Thank you to Eternal Stoneworks for their partnership with Goochland County!
