Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues, sites and events in the Page Valley
By Randy Arrington
LURAY, March 19 — This week we sit down with Page County Director of Economic Development and Tourism Nina Fox, along with Dennis Fleming and Bart Price, members of the Agriculture Subcommittee for the Page County Economic Development Authority, to talk about plans for a meat processing facility in Shenandoah.
Shenandoah Valley Foods LLC has an option on a former pharmacy in Shenandoah and the deal could be closed as early as June. A bottleneck at slaughter houses nationwide has created supply chain issues for beef and pork, forcing some farmers to travel to others states just to get a “slot.”
We’ll talk about all of this and where local plans stand to help create a regional solution that could greatly help local farmers and local vendors, as well as increase the local tax base and create new jobs.
(Page Valley Livin’ ~ Episode 62 was recorded Monday, March 17, and first aired Wednesday, March 19).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we’ll be visiting Hawksbill Park for Trout Day and Stanley’s first Car, Truck & Bike Show, and soon we’ll be talking with a local woman who actually died for 24 seconds (and wrote a book about it).
The aim and purpose of these videos is to provide more information about more things that make up the wonderful place we call the Page Valley of Virginia. Serious issues will be handled seriously, while lighter issues may offer more opportunity to have some fun. There is no theme or agenda other than promoting the Page Valley, and trying to better inform the people who both live here and those who love to visit.
