  • Nestled in Smyth County along the I-81 corridor, Atkins, Virginia is strategically positioned for industrial and logistics growth in Southwest Virginia. Its direct access to major transportation routes, including Norfolk Southern rail and proximity to the Tri-Cities Airport, makes Atkins an appealing option for companies seeking efficient distribution and supply chain solutions.

    Recent investments in the region’s industrial parks, such as the Smyth County Commerce Park, have expanded the availability of modern, build-ready sites. Industrial vacancy rates remain low, and local officials are actively marketing shovel-ready parcels to manufacturers, food processors, and logistics operations looking to serve the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast markets.

    Workforce development is a regional priority, with programs offered through the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program and local institutions like Wytheville Community College. These initiatives provide tailored training for

    advanced manufacturing, logistics, and technology sectors, ensuring a pipeline of skilled workers.

    Virginia’s robust incentives—ranging from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to local tax abatements—help reduce the cost of new facility development. Smyth County Economic Development also offers site selection assistance and support to streamline the permitting process for incoming businesses...
