Business Information
 Moving a business to Pittsylvania County is a decision that dozens of manufacturers have made. Having helped those companies in a variety of ways, we’d like to make your consideration process even easier.
In this section, we provide the numbers you need – from average hourly wages to a description of our civilian labor force. From per- capita personal income to our citizens’ educational background.
Perhaps more importantly, this is where you’ll learn what local manufacturers say about their experiences. They’ll describe tax incentives and other assistance they’ve received (like site selection and analysis). How our bringing the research and development resources of Virginia Tech here has helped them. They’ll also tell you how they feel today – in retrospect – about their decisions to move here.
We hope you profit from their experiences. And we hope you agree that moving your business to Pittsylvania makes business sense – for your bottom line and your people.
