Community Assessment August 2017 Community Assessment August 2017 Community Assessment 2017 I. Buchanan County Head Start: Background Buchanan County Head Start serves the county of Buchanan located in Southwest Virginia. The program is federally funded to enroll 145 children in seven classrooms and one home- based program. Four of the classrooms operate five days per week for a full day. Three of the classrooms operate four days per week part day. II. Objectives, Need for Assistance, and Geographic Area Buchanan County is in the Appalachian Plateau on the borders of Kentucky and West Virginia. It covers 508 square miles of land and is one of the most remote and extremely rural areas of Southwest Virginia. (See attached map of the county). It is bounded on the west by the Kentucky state line and the northeast by the West Virginia state line. According to family surveys and assessments, many families have needs that include but are not limited to: health care, (the distance some families must travel to obtain medical services is an average of 45 miles one way), health insurance, employment, housing, public water and sewage, homes that need to be winterized, fuel assistance, dental care, job training, and day care evenings and after school. The county’s natural resources include coal, natural gas, and timber. Grundy, the county seat, functions as the trade center for the area and for some neighboring counties in Kentucky and West VA. The communities are located throughout this area and are for the most part, isolated one from the other due to topography and terrain. The county is located 200 miles west of Roanoke, VA and 390 miles west of Richmond, VA, the state capitol. Residents of the county must drive at least three hours to reach a major shopping center. In addition, Buchanan County shares the beautiful Breaks Interstate Park with Dickenson County. The Breaks Park also known as the ‘Grand Canyon of the South,’ attracts approximately 400 thousand visitors a year to its cabins, walking trails, swimming pool, restaurant, and lodge. Recreational facilities are somewhat limited with only one 18-hole private golf course and one 9-hole public course. There are three public swimming pools, two of which are located at the public-school facilities. The other one is located at the WMCA. The youth of the county are frequently found using the local schools’ outdoor tennis and basketball courts. Now, Buchanan County does not have a shopping mall, but there are three mini shopping strips found in various locations of the county. There is a plan for a Wal-Mart that serves the county that is in the Town of Grundy. There are other a few stores located next to Walmart, to include a couple if restaurants, a Page Community Assessment August 2017 shoe store and two or three clothing stores. There are a few fast food establishments, i.e. Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, Hardees, Subway, the Huddle House, etc. There are two family restaurants with buffet style dining. There is one hotel within the town limits of Grundy with two other motels in the county. The population density is approximately 53.05 persons per square mile. Almost all the county’s population is rural, with only 4.53% living in the Town of Grundy. Approximately 4% of the population is made up of minority or ethnic groups with 3% black and .03% Asian. The poverty level of the county is high. An excellent indicator of poverty is represented by the percentage of students in the public-school system who receive free and reduced- price breakfast and lunch. The population of Buchanan County is in a declining mode. There is a steady out migration of individuals who have no job opportunities in the county. The county population currently stands at approximately 22,925. (U.S. Census Bureau, State and County Quick Facts).
