Henry County, Virginia Attracts Investment and Promises Job Creation through New Business Centre Grading Project

Henry County, Virginia is poised to receive a significant investment that could attract businesses and create jobs in the area. The county recently announced a $24 million project to grade a 150-acre lot at the Commonwealth Crossing Business Centre. This project is made possible by a $22 million state grant and a matching $6 million grant from the Harvest Foundation.

The lot, which is unique in Virginia as it has access to rail and full utilities, will be graded to make it more attractive to potential tenants. Brandon Martin, the county’s public information officer, stated that economic development is a key focus for the board of supervisors and that this project is an important step forward for the community. He added that there is potential to expedite the timeline if a company shows interest in the lot before then.

County leaders are excited about the economic development opportunities that this project will bring. With its prime location and easy accessibility, Henry County has always been an attractive location for businesses looking to expand or relocate. This investment has the potential to create new job opportunities for local residents and attract new businesses to the area.
