“Hargrove International Inc. exceeded our expectations during an intense 6-month long strategic planning process for the Clinch River Valley of Southwest Virginia. They took to heart the needs of each individual community, organization and stakeholder while meeting and guiding individuals at very different stages in the transformation process. This resulted in an inclusive experience that allowed the group to overcome obstacles and make difficult decisions by building trust and consensus. The resulting plan is straightforward and easy to follow with resources, goals, and constant evaluation to keep our management team and entire region moving toward the desired outcome. Given the opportunity, Friends of Southwest Virginia would gladly work with this fantastic team in the future.”
