Blackstone, VA – When rural Virginia thrives, everyone in the Commonwealth prospers.

“Rural Virginia holds a very special place in our hearts, and I’m honored for the work the Center for Rural Virginia does,” said Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears. “We will continue to make sure that you in the rural parts know that we care. We see you. We are here to listen. We want to hear from you. You’re an important part of our economy. You are not forgotten by this Administration.”
