An investment of $24 million has been announced in Henry County, Virginia, as part of an initiative to attract businesses and create jobs. The Commonwealth Crossing Business Centre will serve as the site for the project, which is being funded by a $22 million state grant and a matching $6 million grant from the Harvest Foundation.
Leaders in the county view this project as a major step forward in economic development. Brandon Martin, the county’s public information officer, emphasized the importance of this investment in helping the community thrive. The 150-acre lot at the Commonwealth Crossing Business Centre is unique due to its access to rail and full utilities, making it an attractive location for businesses looking to set up shop.
The project is expected to take around two years to complete, but there is potential for expediting the timeline if a company expresses interest in the lot. This development is part of the county’s efforts to prioritize economic growth and attract investment to the region. The impact of this project could be substantial in terms of job creation and business opportunities in Henry County.
