Today in Bristol, Tim Kaine announced his six-point plan for Southwest Virginia.  The plan includes:


Support infrastructure improvements in transportation, communication and technology to better link Southwest Virginia to the rest of the commonwealth.

Support the creation of public wireless Internet access areas.

Support the location of the Virginia Information Technology Agency's (VITA) backup data center in Southwest Virginia.

Invest further resources in UVa-Wise.

Support programs like Virginia's Economic Bridge that links workers in Southwest Virginia with Northern Virginia employers through technology.

Promote natural and scenic assets, like Breaks Interstate Park and rails-to-trails projects, to attract tourism.

I thought it was nice of him to mention Breaks Interstate Park, which is close to where I live.
