According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, West Virginia ranks 9th overall in the value of goods that $100 can buy compared to the national average. The City of Bluefield has a proactive and aggressive vision for its future which includes a three prong approach to economic development. First, to support our existing businesses and help them grow. Second, to attract new industry to the City and region, and third, to cultivate entrepreneurship through the CREATE Opportunity Initiative. The Commercialization Station and Bluefield State College Research & Development Corporation’s Center are a key part of the initiative. True economic development is a team effort. To learn more about our team of partners and the services they offer, see the CREATE Opportunity Resource Guide on pages 6-7.
