Since 1941, Fort A.P. Hill has worked to foster a positive relationship with the surrounding community. The ICC provides us with such a forum to discuss issues of mutual concern and for sharing of information which in turn fosters a better military-civilian relationship as well as promoting general welfare and prosperity to the local community. These quarterly discussions are also an opportunity for local elected officials, local professional government staffers, and business/community leaders to meet and gain an understanding of each other’s concerns.
