Virginia Cooperative Extension's Community Viability area specialists are working with Extension agents in field offices as well as with other campus based faculty and the university's Outreach Division to assess community needs, help design a community based plan of action, and help determine appropriate delivery methods suitable for various programs.
A primary goal of the Community Viability effort is to match local needs with resources available within the land-grant universities, Virginia Tech and Virginia State University, as well as through other state and federal agencies and non-governmental agencies.
