White Rock Truss & Components Expands Lee County, Virginia, Operations

07/02/2025
White Rock Truss & Components, a company that manufactures yellow pine trusses for residential and commercial use, plans to expand its operations in Lee County, Virginia. The $1.5 million project is expected to create 27 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new lumber shed and the upgrade of existing equipment.

“White Rock Truss & Components is deeply grateful for the generous support provided through these government grants and through the loan with Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority,” said White Rock Truss & Components Finance Manager Tonya Freeman. “This funding empowers us to further our mission and make a meaningful impact in our community. Thank you for investing in our vision and future.”

To support the project Governor Glenn Youngkin approved a $100,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund. The project also received a $500,000 loan from VCEDA and a $50,000 grant from the Tobacco Region Opportunity Fund, administered by the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission. Additionally, Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) will support?White Rock Truss & Components’ job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs in order to support employee recruitment and training activities.

“White Rock Truss & Components’ decision to expand in Lee County underscores the strength of Virginia’s rural economy and the value of long-term business partnerships,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Juan Pablo Segura. “This investment reflects the kind of industrial growth that strengthens communities, creates jobs and fuels opportunities across the region. It’s great to see a Virginia-grown company deepen its roots and continue building a strong future in Southwest Virginia.”

Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority, Virginia Department of Forestry, Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission and the Economic Development Authority of Lee County to secure the project.

“VCEDA was pleased to approve a $500,000 loan to the Lee County Economic Development Authority to assist with the purchase of equipment for the expansion project. It is wonderful to see yet another existing manufacturing company in our region grow and expand,” added Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority Executive Director Jonathan Belcher.
