ABOUT US

Welcome to the Roanoke Valley of Virginia, the largest metropolitan area in western Virginia. We are located equidistant between New York and Atlanta, and within a day’s shipping distance of most of the U.S. population.

The region offers something for everyone: from a lively arts scene to award-winning public schools; from big-time college football at nearby Virginia Tech to a nationally recognized symphony; from hiking, boating, skiing and golf to an entrepreneurial spirit that has fostered innovations for more than 150 years.

And more:

  • A skilled work force of more than 320,000 drawn from a 60-mile radius
  • Costs of living and doing business that are below the national average
  • Competitive electric rates
  • Nineteen colleges and universities within a hour’s drive, including Virginia Tech, one of the nation’s top research universities
  • Excellent market access, thanks to a foreign trade zone and inland port, a jet-served regional airport, Interstate 81 and a superior telecommunications infrastructure.
