Candidate and District 5
Delegate Bill Carrico toured
Lee County on Monday, his
second of three campaign stops
in the county this week. Carrico
spent the day with Sheriff
Gary Parsons, visiting local
businesses, and presenting his
jobs initiative for Southwest
Virginia.
"It was a pleasure to spend
the day with Delegate Carrico,
and to have the opportunity
to share with him some
Carrico Makes Tour Of County
of the concerns that we have
in Lee County," said Parsons.
"Southwest Virginia is made
up of the kind of small,
mountain communities like
we have in Lee County, and
Bill shows a very solid understanding
of what it takes to make a place like this flourish.
I'm looking forward to spending
more time work- ing with him
in the future, both during this
campaign and as he settles into
Carrico said, "My goal in
the State Senate is to bring
meaningful economic development
to Southwest Virginia,
not through government
micromanagement, but
by getting government out
of the way of business, and
recruiting businesses to take
advantage of the abundant
resources we have to offer. The
people of Southwest Virginia
have a ‘mind to work’, and are
the kind of workforce that any
company would be blessed to
have.
As the State Senator
representing the 40th district,
I will propose the creation of an
economic development board
to recruit businesses to the
area. There is no reason that
Lee County and Southwest
Virginia should not be leading
Virginia's economy forward
