Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine on Monday visited the future site of Germanna Community College’s cybersecurity training center in Stafford County.

The senators from Virginia worked to secure $870,000 in federal funding for the center — part of $200 million in federal funding that is coming to Virginia through the federal government’s annual budget.

The $870,000 for Germanna will be used to establish the James R. Clapper Center for Innovation in Cybersecurity, which will be located in the new Barbara J. Fried Center in North Stafford and will house the community college’s cybersecurity degree and credential programs.

“This proposal sold itself,” Kaine said of Germanna’s funding request. “It’s right in the sweet spot of what the country needs.”

In a round table discussion Monday, the senators — who were on their way to a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Labor Martin Walsh — said they are focused on growing the country’s workforce, especially in the field of cybersecurity.
