Virginia Economic Development Partnership
Manufacturers planning a new facility or an expansion face complex decisions about costs, sites, and long-term competitiveness. This session will show you how to leverage state, regional, and local economic development resources to reduce risk, unlock incentives, and secure federal funding for your next capital project.
Drawing on real-world examples from Virginia, we’ll explore how sustainability, workforce, and infrastructure programs can accelerate both greenfield investments and in-state expansions. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for engaging EDAs early and maximizing the strategic value of every dollar of capex.
