Onward NRV Engages Atlanta Site Selectors with I-81 Corridor Group
Katie Boswell, Executive Director of Onward NRV, recently traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, with the Virginia’s I-81 Corridor Marketing Group. She was accompanied by Julia Boas, Director of Business Investment of the Roanoke Regional Partnership; Olivia Wright, Business Development Manager of the Shenandoah Valley Partnership; and Patrick Barker, Director of the Economic Coalition of the Northern Shenandoah Valley.
Over the course of two days, the group met with eight different site selectors to strengthen relationships and enhance the I-81 Corridor’s visibility. The group’s visit focused on promoting both the four individual regions and the I-81 Corridor to key location decision-makers in the Atlanta area. By building strong relationships with these professional consultants, Onward ensures that Virginia’s New River Valley remains top of mind when companies are evaluating potential sites for growth.
