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.
