Buchanan County, Virginia
Buchanan is a far-southwest coalfield county where mining and its supply chain still set the economy and Grundy carries the county's commercial core along with the Appalachian School of Law and the Appalachian College of Pharmacy. Buildable land is the binding constraint here since the terrain is steep and narrow valleys flood, which is why the town's redevelopment was built on engineered benches, and access depends on US 460 improvements through the coalfields.
