As Virginia’s chief jobs creation officer, I am responsible for coordinating our state’s economic development efforts across numerous state agencies. Over the past three years, our team has worked hard to position Virginia for success in the face of a very challenging national economic climate.

Fortunately, Virginia has weathered the national economic storm better than most states. That is because we have put a strong emphasis on economic development, invested heavily in proven economic development programs and done everything we can to make certain that we are pursuing pro-business policies in our state.
