Economic Development
Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, buffeted by over 24,000 acres of public lakes, equidistant to Atlanta and New York City, is western Virginia's fastest growing and most dynamic county - Franklin.
The Franklin Center for Advanced Learning & Enterprise, together with Ferrum College and one of the state's highest rated school systems, demonstrates the county's commitment to building a skilled, prepared workforce. Thanks to its workforce, natural resources, low costs of living, and access to the mid-Atlantic markets, it is not only a great place to live but a great place to run your business.
