Franklin County, Virginia - Interview with Rick Huff

Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, buffeted by over 24,000 acres of public lakes, equidistant to Atlanta and New York City, is western Virginia's fastest growing and most dynamic county - Franklin.
Franklin's 50,000 residents enjoy suburban/resort community amenities along with the convenient access to major urban centers, safe neighborhoods with quiet streets, easy living, and globally competitive business costs. Water defines their lifestyle, with nationally televised ESPN events and Virginia's first man-made whitewater park (open 2010), highlighting fun in the sun.

Franklin County advantages include housing options as varied as lakeside chalets to mountain lodges all at prices well below the national average, a new multisite YMCA complex, restaurants ranging from Four-Star to $4, a public service network that includes two new libraries, over 3,000 acres of public parks, and conservation preserves, and local tax rates well below national, state, and regional averages.
