Tazewell County is located in the southwestern portion of Virginia near major north-south
(I-77) and east-west (I-81) interstates that put the county line
within 500 miles of half the U.S. population. The county boasts an airport
for private aircraft and is less than 30 minutes from the nearest commercial
airport. Personal rail transportation is available by means of Amtrak which
operates from Hinton, WV approximately 50 minutes from Bluefield. The Norfolk Southern
Corporation and more than 10 trucking lines service the freight needs of the county
making us a prime candidate for any business!
Natural beauty contributes greatly to our quality of life and is visible
everywhere you look. Burkes Garden, also called "God's Thumb Print", is a
spectacular geological structure containing about 20,000 acres of farmland.
The Appalachian Trail passes along one side of it and hunting, fishing, and
biking opportunities abound all across the county. Factor in the high
quality of our public and private schools plus the three college campuses
and we have the perfect combination for any lifestyle from single to family
or just enjoying the golden years of retirement!
