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.

In Pittsylvania County, we offer a range of competitive financial incentives determined by individual project parameters. Incentives most commonly are determined by job creation and project investment. For more information on available incentives please contact our office directly.
There are a number of specific incentives we offer as part of our Pittsylvania Country Enterprise Zone Program. The Enterprise Zone is a designated area of growth for companies to locate or expand their operations allowing them to receive local and state incentives. Some of these incentives include:
- Site Discount – Industrial sites owned or controlled by the County within the Enterprise Zone will be sold at below-market rates.
- Job Creation Compensation – Create at least 25 new manufacturing jobs and your company will receive $250 per job, up to 400 jobs.
- Local Sales Tax Refund – We will refund the 1% local sales tax on material purchased in the County for construction and/or expansion of a facility of at least 70,000 square feet that creates 25 permanent full-time jobs under the approved NAICS Codes (31-33, 421-422, 44-45, 56142-561422).
- Building Permit Fee Waiver – Construct a new facility or expand an existing one in the Enterprise Zone under designated NAICS Codes and we will waive building permit fees otherwise required by the County.
In addition, the following resources are available:
- Dan River Business Development Center (Incubator): This 30,000 square foot building is specially designed for technology-based businesses, light manufacturing and service based startups.
- Regional Center for Applied Technology and Training (RCATT): This advanced technological training center provides advanced computer and biological training programs. RCATT offers a 10% reduction in fees for courses to companies located within the Enterprise Zone.
