Where it says it works

Ashland, Virginia. The organization runs the "Ashland/Hanover Visitor Center" at 112 North Railroad Avenue in a 1920s train depot, and describes Ashland as "situated approximately 15 miles north of Richmond and is less than two hours from Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, and Norfolk." The site names Visit Hanover County as a separate partner organization rather than claiming Hanover County itself.

Verification note

PHONE CHANGED: the site publishes (804) 752-6766 and toll-free (800) 897-1479; the file's (804) 798-2566 does not appear anywhere on the site. No email address and no staff are published — contact is via web form only, so Kelly Franke and kfranke@ashlandva.gov could not be confirmed and are left blank. COVERAGE CONFLICT: the file assigns Hanover County to this organization, but the site brands only the visitor center as 'Ashland/Hanover' and links to Visit Hanover County as a distinct partner. The Town of Ashland's own site (ashlandva.gov/457/Visitors) points visitors to visitashlandva.com as 'Ashland's Visitor site'.

Verification note

PHONE DIFFERS: the site publishes (804) 782-2777 throughout (visitor services also list 1-800-370-9004); the file's (804) 783-7400 does not appear. Katherine O'Donnell, CDME, is confirmed as President & CEO and kodonnell@visitrichmondva.com is confirmed, but the general visitor address vcstaff@visitrichmondva.com is recorded per the general-over-named rule. Coverage matches the file exactly. COVERAGE CONFLICTS: New Kent County is also claimed by Visit New Kent (DMO-087) and Colonial Heights by The Best Part of Virginia (DMO-098). Office 401 N. 3rd Street, Richmond, VA 23219 - this is the Virginia city of Richmond, not Richmond County VA or Richmond in CA/IN/KY.
