Natural Resources Industrial Opportunities
Depiction of what a commercial fish hatchery operation could be in one of the city’s repurposed facilities
The industrial roots of the City of Waynesboro and Shenandoah Valley sink deep into the region’s plentiful natural resources. Abundant water, timber, and minerals lured settlers to the area and spurred economic progress and prosperity.
In what ways will these same natural resources shape the future? How can we merge the diverse interests of industry, tourism, and agriculture into sustainable community development? The CCR forms the hub for the diverse interest … by creating an environment suitable for businesses and enterprises to locate and succeed in Waynesboro.
The Center for Coldwaters Restoration hopes to convene business, industry, and educational leaders to address these and other questions as we work to foster long-term natural resource-based economic growth in the City.
