Swinson said the goal of Virginia's Growth Alliance is to market regional economic development opportunities in a six county, one-city region in southern Virginia.
Members of the Alliance include the Counties of Brunswick, Charlotte, Greensville, Lunenburg, Nottoway and Mecklenburg, and the City of Emporia. The alliance plans to deploy its new brand in a variety of ways including presentations at regional board and council meetings and area civic organization meetings like Rotary. Plans also include working with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership. A new website is being developed.
