Bedford County, Virginia
Bedford County lies between Lynchburg and Roanoke on US 460 and draws from both labor markets, with the town of Bedford, which reverted from independent city to town status in 2013, serving as the commercial center. Smith Mountain Lake is the county's distinctive asset and drives waterfront residential, second-home and resort development, while the interior is rural with utility service limited to the town and the lake corridor.
