Pulaski runs on Main Street and manufacturing. The Historic Commercial District has close to a hundred turn-of-the-century buildings, and after years of quiet, downtown is filling back in — boutiques, the arts gallery, Great Wilderness Brewing, Al's on First, and a steady stream of visitors coming off the New River Trail. Volvo's truck plant out toward Dublin still anchors much of the county, but the businesses that win locally are the small ones: the HVAC shop, the contractor, the cafe, the clinic that everybody in town already half-knows.
Here's the problem — half of Pulaski still gets found the old way, by word of mouth, and the other half gets found on a phone. Somebody Googles "HVAC repair Pulaski VA" or "lunch near Calfee Park" and picks from whoever shows up first. If your business isn't in that map pack or on page one, you're invisible to the exact person who was ready to call. That gap is what I close.
