PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. -- In an effort to get out of the shadow of larger area counties, Prince William County wants to add to the list of businesses it wants to lure to the region.
Economic development officials want to attract more companies that deal in materials and life sciences, such as engineering firms, and more logistical business, such as warehousing and short-hauling trucking companies, and defense-industry jobs like cyber security, are keys to growth in the county.
At a presentation to elected officials this week, George Mason University was praised for their involvement in the local economy, and its Prince William Campus in Manassas is said to be ripe for the development of a medical educational campus. Economic developers also want to build out Innovation at Prince William – the stalled business park near the George Mason campus, as well as redevelop eastern Prince William County and take advantage of the business resources already in place to foster growth and entrepreneurship.
