OUR COMMITMENT
Welcome to Winchester, Virginia; a small, growing metropolitan city located just an hour outside our Nation’s capital. What’s here? A thriving business community made up of small entrepreneurial enterprises, major retailers, professional service providers and high quality manufacturers, as well as a number of technology‐based businesses; plus, lifestyle and community resources you on par with larger cities. We truly have all the advantages of a larger metropolitan city without those time‐draining challenges.
Look even closer and you’ll find something that sets Winchester apart; its commitment to existing business. In fact, it’s the area’s top economic development priority. This track record of commitment has been in place since the EDC came into existence and has continued to grow in force and focus since then. Examples of the community’s commitment to existing business include:
- 500+ business call‐team visits over the past five years;
- Bi‐monthly business cluster interaction;
- A twelve‐year award‐winning career awareness program to facilitate workforce development;
- An established track record of providing a higher level of financial and workforce training assistance to those existing businesses making the same investment as a new business.
We have a passion in retaining this track record for prospective new businesses. We believe, as hopefully you do, there is nothing that exerts more influence in the location process than demonstrated success and dedication to the existing economic base.
We invite you to browse the remainder of the EDC’s website and see for yourself why Winchester, Virginia is a viable location for your next expansion or location.
