Pure Shenandoah Supports Local Economy in Right to Work Virginia

Shenandoah Valley Hemp, also known in the markets as Pure Shenandoah, is adding a new facility in Elkton, Virginia. In order to do this, they are investing $3.3 million toward the project. This new facility will go toward increasing hemp processing and cannabidiol oil extraction. The investment will also create 24 new jobs. In addition, the company will be helping local farmers by purchasing 100% of their hemp from them. So this will be great for the area’s economy in more than just one way.
