Developing a Diverse Economy In Southern and Southwest Virginia

Over the last 20 years the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission has invested over $196 million in education and job training for rural Virginians through capital Invest- ments in our community colleges and workforce training centers as well as scholarships. We have helped attract employers large and small, who brought tens of thousands of new jobs and billions in investment to the regions we serve. The Commission has deployed over $130 million to expand broadband access. Along with those accomplishments, we've also invested in improved access to healthcare, high-impact tourism projects, critically important agricultural assets and research, and direct programming to support business attraction efforts. While there remains work to be done, the Commonwealth should be proud of the accomplishments of the Commission, and we look forward to continued years of supporting the best projects possible to revitalize Southern and Southwest Virginia.
