This isn’t just a groundbreaking. This is building the future while honoring the history of this important school.
Originally built in 1952 as the only school for Black students in the county prior to integration, the building’s historical significance became a key factor in the renovation plans of the new school.
When this project is complete, it will have a new two-story addition, a new three-story classroom addition, and renovations to the existing building. Expanded parking and a new bus loop will also be added. And it will all happen while respecting the stories of the students who graced these hallways and fought segregation.
We can’t wait to build on this school’s amazing history. This will be a place where dreams are launched. ...

We have a special gift. We see things that aren’t there – yet. Where you might see an empty field, we see opportunity, jobs, and economic development.
We joined the Alleghany County community to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the Alleghany Regional Commerce Center (ARCC) pad site. This ready-to-go site is open for development, thanks to a $3.2 million grant from the Virginia Economic Development Partnership’s Business Ready Sites Program.
The site was developed to take advantage of the highly skilled labor in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and defense throughout the area.
We can`t wait to watch this site boom with innovation. @alleghanyhighlandsedc ...
