Blacksburg is a historic town located in Western Virginia and is most notable for being the home of Virginia Tech- one of the nation’s leading colleges in terms of both education and their athletic program. Unfortunately, it was also the location of the infamous 2007 Virginia Tech mass shooting, which will forever be remembered by the locals.
While the college certainly propels many of the local retail and entertainment businesses, Blacksburg is also home to a wide range of service-based companies as well who provide both residential and professional services. There are even a few light manufacturing plants within city limits that provide hundreds of jobs for local residents.
Since Blacksburg is the biggest town in the area, it’s also become a small hub for healthcare and there are several specialist doctors as well as a large hospital in town.
