Update 6
Sorry for the short hiatus, I was busy with other projects.
--
The city council (the first organized governmental body--we'll go into more detail on it in a side project later) decided that if the city was going to continue to support itself, it would need to diversify it's industrial base to include more that just oil refining, so it offered free land and a one year tax break to any companies willing to set up shop in Virgin Shores, resulting in the Refinery Industrial Park (they're not that creative yet 
).
Here's a brief description of each insustry, and a picture:
Curry PetroChemical- Specializing in gasoline additives, it was founded by Samuel Curry in 1926 in the original Virgin City, and the Virgin Oil Co. encouraged them to re-enter the market in V
Quality Tool Supply- Established by a local resident about a year ago, QTS made everything from screwdrivers to circular saws, and the opening of the industrial park was seen as an excellent opportunity to relocate into a proper factory.
Virgin Box Co. fairly obviously makes, you guessed it, cardboard boxes and wooden crates for the industries to ship their products in. It was set up with the creation of the industrial park, and is owned byt the city council.
The Cajun Sausage Factory- Some of the residents from New Orleans, suprisingly, found a trans-dimensional wormhole opened by Hurricane Katrina, and stumbled through it into the old Virgin City just before it's demise, bringing their cajun cuisine with them, and combining it with the sausage already beloved by Virginers.
The Virgin Oil Co. Refinery also expanded into this new industrial park with an auxiliary building, Eyler Refining, named after George Eyler, who owned the first gas station in the town.
Also in regards to the Virgin Oil Co., they now have competition on the gasoline front from international giant Shell, who opened up a station on Main St. south of the roundabout.
The farms that surrounded the original town weren't very welcome to the new industry however, as it polluted their environment, and many area farms had to be abandoned and were quickly subdivided into residential and commerical lots.
Update 6B will show a group of loners who set up camp to the southwest, as well as debut the first Virgin Shores Atlas.
