Here in Southern Virginia, in economically distressed Lebanon, a population of 3500 live. Until recently graduates of the local high school had two options, which were: get a local job making just $28,000 a year; or completely leave the area. Thanks to push from former Governor Mark Warner residents of Russell County now have the opportunity to get jobs making $50,000 a year at new technology software companies. Governor Warner promised to help the Southern Virginia economy and by encouraging companies such as CGI And Northrop Grumman to "farm-shore" or build in rural areas he was able to help bring hundreds of jobs to Lebanon.
