EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND GENERAL COUNSEL, VIRGINIA COALFIELD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, LEBANON
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
As leader of the Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority since 2006, Belcher has helped bring new jobs to Southwest Virginia through numerous economic development deals. Two notable job announcements in the past year have included 170 jobs at data center company Tate in its access floors division, announced in November 2023, and 75 jobs accompanying natural gas company CNX Resources’ October 2023 new headquarters announcement.
Belcher also serves as executive director for the Virginia Coalfields Expressway Authority, which recently landed $7 million in federal funds and an additional $1.7 million from the Buchanan County Board of Supervisors. Together, the funds will be used to widen the expressway to four lanes from the Kentucky border to Grundy.
ADVICE FOR NEW COLLEGE GRADUATES: Time is your most precious resource, so make sure you use it wisely.
WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY: Probably have been less of a workaholic
