Business Appreciation Week Luncheon
featuring
The Honorable Todd Haymore
Secretary of Agriculture & Forestry
Commonwealth of Virginia
Join us as we celebrate agribusiness and its impact on our region.
The Danville metropolitan area agribusiness industry accounted for an estimated $30.3 million in state and local government revenues in 2011. The total was approximately evenly distributed among state and local coffers with $15.0 million for state government and $15.3 for local governments. An estimated $6.8 million of the local government revenue impact accrues to Danville City as a result of agribusiness activity occurring within its boundary and $7.9 million to Pittsylvania County from activities within the county.
Area agribusiness help support 307 retail trade, 287 health care, 192 accommodation and food services, and 132 construction jobs. For every 10 jobs created in local agribusinesses, approximately four more jobs result elsewhere in the local economy.
