BETA Overview
More than just our location makes Hampton Roads a great place for your expansion.
Hampton Roads isn’t a city. You won’t find it on any map. That’s because our home is a diverse collection of ten cites and five counties, all tightly integrated and providing a wealth of benefits for businesses and organizations of all kinds.
Strategically located in the middle of the eastern seaboard of the United States, Hampton Roads is home to one of the world’s largest natural deepwater harbors, with ports capable of accommodating the largest cargo ships on the planet. Our modern road and rail systems connect the interior of the United States—and nearly two-thirds of its population—with the goods and services they need.
But that’s just the beginning.
Here in Hampton Roads you will find a skilled and educated workforce, attractive labor laws, an enviably low cost of doing business, and communities committed to your continued success.
Your employees will love it here, too. Our beautiful beaches, scenic waterways, numerous parks, historical sites, and town centers provide residential and recreational opportunities as varied as your personal style and budget.
Whatever the reason, it’s no wonder why over 1.6 million people love what they do and where they live—here in Hampton Roads. After all, we've been attracting and retaining business for over 400 years.
