Mission

The mission of the Development Corporation is to grow businesses and jobs through the provision of business assistance.  In discharging that mission, the Corporation provides:

Incubator and Multi-tenant Facilities

The Corporation constructed a 54,000 square foot incubator and regional office facility. The Corporation is offering incubator tenants a place to grow their business with industrial and commercial/office space available.  With shared meeting spaces, shipping and receiving, photocopying and faxing services, the New River Valley Business Center offers a professional space to grow in an environment that is friendly to new businesses.
