Campbell County Economic Development
During the 20th century, Campbell County’s economy evolved from agriculture to a strong manufacturing base. As of 2005, our community includes businesses in several diverse industries: pharmaceuticals, automotive, defense contractors, commercial printing, plastics, nuclear engineering/products and textiles. Check out our list of major employers.
The purpose of the Campbell County Department of Economic Development is to encourage, facilitate and support existing business and to attract new companies. We focus equally between small business and large industry, and we understand how important each individual company is to our continued growth.
Quality of Life
In recent years, Campbell County and the surrounding localities have experienced a large increase in the amount of new construction for single-family home subdivisions, planned communities and townhome developments. While the northern end of the County near the City of Lynchburg largely consists of these new planned developments, Campbell County still offers a rural atmosphere with thousands of acres of pasture land and family farms in the south.
Campbell County borders Leesville Lake in the southwest, and the development of high-end lake homes has increased in the last few years.
