Where it says it works
The City of Franklin and Southampton County, Virginia. The organization describes Franklin as "once a railroad and steamboat hub of commerce ... a laid-back cousin to larger cities in the Coastal Virginia region" and Southampton County as "a sprawling landscape [that] boasts small towns waiting to be explored and more Century Farms than any other Virginia county," naming Boykins, Branchville, Capron, Newsoms and Ivor.
Verification note
NAME CHANGE / SEPARATE ENTITY: the tourism site's copyright line reads "(c) Franklin Southampton Tourism, Inc." and the footer links to "Franklin Southampton Economic Development" at franklinsouthamptonva.com as a distinct organization. The state directory listed the economic-development entity as the DMO. Phone matches. The organization publishes a general info@ address; the state carried a staffer's address (Lauren Rodil), and no staff are named on the site, so the contact name is not carried over. Office: 601 N. Mechanic Street, Suite 300, Franklin, VA 23851.
