“Congratulations to Virginia Steel on expanding its operations in Bland County after more than 30 years in the community,” said Governor Abigail Spanberger. Founded in 1994, Virginia Steel provides custom steel fabrication, welding, and steel purchasing services for commercial and industrial construction projects across Southwest Virginia. “Bland County is proud to support Virginia Steel’s continued growth in Bastian,” said Bland County Administrator Cameron B. Burton. “I am delighted that Virginia Steel and Fabrication, Inc. has chosen to continue to invest in Bland County, creating 52 new jobs,” said Senator Travis Hackworth. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Bland County, the Mount Rogers Regional Partnership, and the Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission to secure the project for Virginia.
