Hamilton County commissioners on Wednesday unanimously approved nearly $3 million in contracts with four architects for design work at four schools.

Chairman Fred Skillern said the commission has worked with the architects before.

The architects are Derthick, Henley & Wilkerson Architects for the new Ganns Middle Valley Elementary School; Franklin Architects for Nolan Elementary School; Hefferlin + Kronenberg Architects for an addition to Sale Creek Middle/High School; and Billingsley/Architecture for an addition to Wolftever Elementary School.

Commissioners also approved the dedication of $26 million to the Industrial Development Board for the planned expansion of the Volkswagen site at Enterprise South Industrial Park.

Commissioners also approved the appointment of Richard Youngblood to the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Hospital Authority Board of Trustees, and the appointment of Nettie Gerstle as director of administrative services in the Health Services Division.
