Joint IDA Recognizes Wythe County Industries at Tenure Awards
WYTHEVILLE — The Joint Industrial Development Authority held its annual Tenure Awards luncheon to celebrate Wythe County industries on April 24, 2025, at the Wytheville Meeting Center. An important part of the Joint IDA’s annual industry appreciation activities is our recognition of companies that have had a presence in Wythe County for a multiple of five years. Our tenure awards give us an opportunity to acknowledge and honor the important contributions made by these businesses in our community.

Joining the Joint IDA Board of Directors and the celebrated businesses were members of Wythe County administration, Wytheville Town Council members and administration, Town of Rural Retreat Administration and business service partners Wytheville Community College, Mount Rogers Regional Partnership, and the Wytheville-Wythe-Bland Chamber of Commerce. The Joint IDA also recognized the ongoing community support of WythevilleOffices.com, who has been the sole sponsor of the luncheon since its inception in 2005.

Joint IDA Executive Director David Manley shared the history of each company being awarded, and a commemorative glass trophy was presented by Joint IDA Chairman Michael Cole. The following companies were recognized for their contributions to the community over extended periods:

Clarke Precision Machine 10 Years
