This spotlight will explore the Regional Resilience Roadmap for Central and Southwest Virginia, published March 2026.

The roadmap is a shared framework for long-term investment, collaboration, and action. Developed with local governments, businesses, community organizations, and residents, it identifies regional priorities, key challenges, and ongoing resilience efforts.

The roadmap addresses pressing issues—such as climate impacts, aging infrastructure, funding gaps, and economic transitions—while highlighting regional assets that can strengthen communities, protect natural resources, and support economic stability.

By aligning priorities and strategies, the roadmap helps the region attract investment, strengthen cross-sector collaboration, prepare for emerging risks and opportunities, advance equity, and protect the natural and cultural resources that define the region.

As both a guide and a coordination tool, it empowers leaders to align resources, build partnerships, and take collective action to help Central and Southwest Virginia thrive in a changing world.
