Local services in the New River Valley
The New River Valley sits in southwest Virginia along one of the oldest rivers in the world. Roughly 180,000 people live across Montgomery, Pulaski, Giles and Floyd counties and the City of Radford, anchored by Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and Radford University in Radford. It is a region of university towns, small manufacturing, farms and mountain communities — where a service business might drive from a student rental turnover in Blacksburg to a well pump in Floyd County in the same afternoon.
