Botetourt County has restructured its department of economic development, incorporating county tourism staff into the office.
The move will allow a single department to work toward dual goals: luring large businesses and working on major redevelopment projects such as the Exit 150 interchange while also reaching out to small businesses in the county.
“This is the right next step for us as we continue to develop and strengthen services to help businesses start and grow in Botetourt — from the international advanced manufacturer, to the garage startup, to the family owned small business,” board of supervisors Chairman Jack Leffel said in an announcement of the change.
