In December 2018, VCEDA released the results of a study by Chmura Economics & Analytics showing the total annual economic impact of VCEDA is estimated to be $6.9 billion in 2018 supporting 37,311 jobs in Southwest Virginia. The study also illustrates efforts by VCEDA “have greatly accelerated diversification in the region,” and that without the jobs attracted to the region by VCEDA, the region’s unemployment rate would be more than three times higher.

VCEDA commissioned the Virginia Tech Office of Economic Development to identify economic development opportunities in agriculture in the VCEDA region and to develop a strategic plan to carry out key strategies for this target industry. Results of the study were released in October 2017.
