Is Southwest Virginia in a Death Spiral? What about Pulaski?

go_vas_nine_councils

This morning the Roanoke Times published an editorial regarding a report issued by the GO Virginia Regional One Council titled “Growth and Diversification Plan.”

While Pulaski County technically lies outside the borders of the region described in the Report, it nonetheless highlights important issues facing all rural communities.  As we’ve noted in other posts, rising healthcare costs, lack of economic development, the loss of major industries, and shrinking population are all issues we face here in Pulaski County.

We encourage everyone to review the information in both the editorial and the report, then share with us your thoughts on how we help Pulaski County and the entire region shape a future where our children have the same opportunities as children in other parts of the country.
