Governor Terry McAuliffe announced 12 Virginia companies were selected to participate in the Virginia Economic Gardening Pilot Program (VEGPP). The VEGPP, administered by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), targets second-stage companies. These businesses are growth-oriented and have moved beyond the startup phase by demonstrating a notable increase in revenue or employment. By addressing strategic growth issues, such as identifying new markets and industry trends, refining business models, raising online visibility, and offering access to competitive intelligence, the VEGPP enables high-growth companies to achieve the next level of success.
“Second stage companies are a key driver of local job creation and revenue generation. I am pleased three companies from Manassas were chosen to participate, the most of any locality across the Commonwealth and the only ones in Northern VA. I believe this underscores the tremendous talent base we have here in the City,” said Mayor Hal Parrish. Economic Development staff worked very closely with VEGPP to identify companies meeting the eligibility requirements for the Pilot and are poised to provide a continuing stream of qualified Manassas businesses should the program continue.
