Virginia 811 Excavator Town Hall
2024-09-24 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Detroit)
To Our Excavator Community,
As part of our strategic plan and continuous improvement efforts, Virginia 811 conducts an annual stakeholder “town hall process.” Each year, we select a different stakeholder group (excavators, locators, utility operators) to provide feedback on Virginia 811’s processes and technologies.
For 2024, we are surveying our Excavator community as part of the “town hall” process.
The virtual Excavator Town Hall is scheduled for
Tuesday, September 24th
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
