On Friday, we brought a group of college students from Virginia Tech to tour the city and visit with local employers. They were very impressed with the venue, downtown, food, but especially the employers and how they talked favorable about the region’s prospects.

Wachovia, Shenandoah Life and the Renick Group all helped sell the region and the opportunities locally to these aspiring college students. Thanks to the representatives of these organizations who took their time to help us sell the region to Generation Y.
