Giles County, Virginia
Giles County is a New River valley industrial and recreation market, with the Celanese plant at Narrows as the dominant private employer and Pearisburg serving as the county seat and retail center. US 460 ties the county to Blacksburg and Virginia Tech, which is where the commuter and spillover demand comes from, while narrow valley floors, steep ground and the river itself limit where anything larger can be built.
