Rebecca Adcock, Executive Director of the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce has been selected to participate in the 2025 Community Investment Training through the Rural Investment Collaborative initiative. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Rural Investment Collaborative convenes rural leaders and local community champions from South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Washington DC. to participate in shared learning and programming that facilitates improvements. 

A signature focus of the Collaborative is to routinely provide Community Investment Training that can help more communities develop viable funding proposals for projects that will make an impact in rural areas. During the training, the Chamber of Commerce will develop a proposal focused on Mayo River Rail Trail improvements and extension. This training will give us the tools we need to plan, fund and implement this important work.
