Powhatan Today Profi les August 2009 | 3
It is with great pride that I wel-come you to the 2009 edition of the Powhatan County Profi les. We like to think of it as both a guide to help you get things done, as well as a tool to fi nd the best spots to sit back and not do much of anything at all except relax that is.
Putt ing the guide together each year is a reminder of how much the coun-ty has grown even during what has undoubtedly been a di cult year economically we have still managed to add new businesses and how, if you look away for even a minute, Powhatan has something new for residents to enjoy.
One highlight of this year has been the opening of the ball parks at Fight-ing Creek Park, a testament to the in-vestment Powhatan has made in its children.
There are, of course, the old favorites as well. The Powhatan library re-mains a truly impressive sanctuary for residents looking for a quiet place to get away, and the county also add-ed sidewalks in the Village for easier access and walkability.
New things are happening every day, all around us, and we hope you fi nd this edition of Profi les handy as you navigate your way around this wonderful place we call home.
