Ideally situated in the heart of the East Coast economic corridor, the Historic Richmond Region includes Virginia’s capital city, Richmond, and the vibrant counties of Chesterfield, Hanover, and Henrico. Successful companies have found the area to be extraordinarily business-friendly since the Virginia Company sent the first settlers to our area 400 years ago.

The Richmond metropolitan area’s population exceeds 1 million and employment totals more than 662,000. The diverse local economy produces experienced and productive workers with skills required for 21st century research, production and headquarters operations. Ten colleges and universities offer degree programs in all fields, plus continuing education classes and custom programs tailored to specific company and industry needs. A magnet for labor, the metro area attracts workers from more than 40 localities statewide.

The Greater Richmond Partnership, Inc. is a single point of contact to the network of public and private sector professionals that supports a company’s facility location decision. We would be pleased to create an itinerary reflecting your specific priorities. Let us show you why companies like Capital One, The Brink’s Company, Wachovia Securities and Phillip Morris USA love doing business in Greater Richmond – Where America’s Business Began.
