Good To Be in Region 3.
About us
Did you know? The "GO" in GO Virginia stands for Growth and Opportunity. The GO Virginia initiative is managed within nine regions. Each region encourages collaboration among business, education, and government entities to enhance economic competition, private sector growth and opportunity, and alignment of workforce development programs with employers’ needs. GO Virginia is Virginia’s economic development initiative with money to invest. GO Virginia Region 3 includes the counties of Amelia, Brunswick, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Halifax, Henry, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Nottoway, Patrick, Pittsylvania, Prince Edward and the cities of Danville and Martinsville. The Region 3 council is made up of » Business leaders » Educators » Elected officials and staff » Economic development professionals REGION 3 CHALLENGES » Only one out of every four employees in the region is currently employed in a position that creates or attracts wealth for the region, compared to the national average of 36%. » The region has an aging and shrinking population and is losing young talent to other regions. » Region 3 has a 5.3 percent unemployment rate, compared to the national unemployment rate of 4.1 percent REGION 3 OPPORTUNITIES Though many of our localities are doing great things to spur economic development, imagine what we can do when we combine forces- eliminating duplication of efforts and gaining strength in numbers. The council has identified these as opportunities for regional collaboration: OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION » Entrepreneurship/small business development » Focus on promising occupations » Site development » Cyber-infrastructure GROWTH INDUSTRIES » Business services/IT data centers » Advanced manufacturing and materials » High-value natural resources » Healthcare
