[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

Southwest Virginia has deep roots: in community, in culture, in hard work, and in resilience. This is forging new economic opportunities for the next generation.

As Governor, I have a clear vision to build a forward-looking economic strategy that strengthens Southwest Virginia and every region across the Commonwealth.

Thank you to UVA Wise for joining me at the Southwest Virginia Economic Forum today to discuss how we can work together to build an even stronger economic future.
