With access to extensive resources in hardwoods and agriculture, proximity to major business centers with a strong network of suppliers, and a workforce that continues to believe in employer loyalty and a job well done, Greenbrier Valley is the ideal setting for companies in both traditional and innovative industries. From aerospace and aviation, to hardwood products, to manufacturing, and more, we’re home to remarkable opportunities.

Our region’s labor shed encompasses more than 282,000 people, many of whom grew up around timber production, mining, and other industries demanding a good day’s work.
