Vance County Reviews
Rating 3.08 out of 5 12 reviews
I have lived here for most of my life and it has been a good experience. Vance County is changing in terms of bringing new business in the area, but they lack in jobs related to things such as technology, warehouse facilities, and more. The majority of these businesses are related to the fast food or retail industry. As far as things to do in Vance County it definitely lacks in the attraction section. There is only an outdoor theater at the moment and an arcade-like place to enjoy entertainment-wise. The only reason people stop in Vance County is their traveling from out of state and will typically get gas, food, or stay at a hotel overnight. There is not much hospitality within the county and I would like to see improvements in that area. As far as the schools are concerned they are good, however, teachers come and go. I do think that the school board can do better in terms of making the proper decisions when it comes to students and staff.
Everyone is friendly, and always willing to help anyone. Vance county has a lot of great schools such as Stem Early High School, Vance Charter School, Vance county middle school, Advance academy, etc. There are a moderate amount of job opportunities in Vance County.
Growing arts community, focused on creating connection and revitalizing the downtown area. Vance county recently opened a new state of the art performing art center in the heart of downtown Henderson.
