New River Valley Sites Advancement Strategy​ (Active)
New River Valley Regional Commission ​

Goal: In partnership with Onward New River Valley, NRVRC will update and expand upon the 2019 VBRSP assessment by evaluating industrial sites across 5 New River localities. Infrastructure and site improvements, land ownership changes, and shifting market conditions have impacted site readiness, making an updated assessment necessary. This will identify infrastructure gaps, environmental constraints, and site development needs, providing a clear path for advancing sites through the VBRSP tiers.
