Located 175 km (just under two hours) from Washington, D.C., Richmond, Virginia, offers a strategic location as the midpoint of the East Coast and with access to 45 percent of the U.S. population. Home to 1.3 million residents and a highly educated workforce of more than 660,000, the Richmond Region is a top spot in attracting Millennial talent. Richmond is the capital city of Virginia providing fine arts and culture, some of the best street art in the world and top foodie accolades. All this combined in the northernmost right-to-work state along the East Coast with a low cost of living and doing business, low levels of unionization and a stable business environment make for a recipe for success. Eleven Fortune 1000 companies are headquartered in the region and international firms including Admiral Group, Alfa Laval, Evonik, DuPont Teijin Films, Rolls-Royce, San-Jirushi, Siemens and Strauss/PepsiCo and many others have decided to open a U.S. location here. Come see for yourself why Richmond, Virginia, should be your top location for a U.S. expansion. **DEADLINE:** May 18, 2018.
