For Your Industry

Warehouse & Distribution
All Together. Better.

Virginia's New River Valley is home to a strong warehouse and distribution industry and we would like to continue to build on that track record of success. Whether needing access to a local Port of Entry #1412 or the benefits of a Foreign Trade Zone #238 (collectively known as the Virginia TradePort), the New River Valley offers an attractive business climate for warehouse and distribution companies including low electric rates, excellent location, and a readily available, high-skilled workforce.
