Press Release- VEDP  

The Highlands Business Park is located in Southwestern Virginia on U.S. Route 11 near Exit 29 of Interstate 81. The park is in a scenic, rural setting despite its proximity to Tri-Cities urban area, and access to major national markets through Interstate 81, 77, 26, and 40.

Our 300-acre industrial park is owned and operated by the Smyth-Washington Regional Industrial Facilities Authority (SWIFA). The property is fully developed with water, sewer, electricity, natural gas, telecommunications fiber conduit, and an access road. The park also features a 40-acre building pad graded flat and a 87,500 square foot shell building completed and ready for occupancy.

The park is located within an Enterprise Zone, which offers long-term financial benefits to companies. The location of the Highlands Business Park makes businesses establishing within the park eligible for additional funds through the Tobacco Region Opportunity Funds. Smyth County and Washington County offer a highly skilled labor force, and the two-county area has a low percentage of union employment.

Local business leaders extol the virtues of the region, including the productivity of the workforce, low cost of doing business, and the favorable business climate.

A Joint Venture of Smyth and Washington Counties
