The Dickenson Wise County line site and local leadership pledge to aid diversification underscore the effort’s regional stakes.

Prison study highlights Virginia Tech impact in Wise County
A Virginia Tech study estimates the proposed prison would create about 400 jobs, with around 30 from outside the region, and an $11 million payroll. The impact would be strongest in Wise County, which has the area’s best shopping, while few families would move nearby to be near inmates. No negative effects on schools were found, and escapees per 1000 inmates dropped from 87 in 1974 to 1.3 in 1989, easing local fears.
