Each region encourages collaboration among business, education, and government entities to enhance economic competition, private sector growth and opportunity, and alignment of workforce development programs with employers’ needs. GO Virginia is Virginia’s economic development initiative with money to invest. GO Virginia Region 3 includes the counties of Amelia, Brunswick, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Halifax, Henry, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Nottoway, Patrick, Pittsylvania, Prince Edward and the cities of Danville and Martinsville.

Region 3 has a 5.3 percent unemployment rate, compared to the national unemployment rate of 4.1 percent REGION 3 OPPORTUNITIES Though many of our localities are doing great things to spur economic development, imagine what we can do when we combine forces- eliminating duplication of efforts and gaining strength in numbers.
