Verification note
PHONE DIFFERS: site publishes 276-926-1676 site-wide; the state's (276) 926-1699 does not appear. EMAIL DIFFERS: the site's only published address (behind Cloudflare obfuscation, decoded) is visit@dickensonva.org; the state's dcronkhite@dickensonva.org is not published. No staff are named on the site — Dana Cronkhite is not listed — so contact name/title left blank ('Mauricio Duran' on the page is a CMS author byline, not staff). Address: P.O. Box 1098, 818 Happy Valley Drive, Clintwood, VA 24228.

- heartofappalachia.com
Where it says it works

Verification note
The site now brands itself simply "Heart of Appalachia" (state listed "Tourism Authority"). Coverage matches the file exactly. No staff page is published, so Jeff Hess was NOT carried over. Offices at 3028 4th Ave. Market Square, PO Box 186, St. Paul, VA 24283. COVERAGE OVERLAP: Heart of Appalachia claims Lee County, which is also claimed by Lee County Virginia Tourism (DMO-070).
