Opinion: Southwest VA's new energy lab will be like the coal country equivalent of the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center — a brand name to pitch former coal mining land to energy companies.

We are heartbroken at the loss of our friend, colleague, and mentor Mr. Carl Snodgrass. Carl has been the face of economic development in Wise County and the region for more than 30 years and the influence and impacts of his great work will be felt for decades to come.
