VEDP + Project Spire: Long-term Partners

Virginia is unique among competing states in offering Project Spire a state economic development organization (EDO) partner with stable leadership. Most states have a politically appointed state EDO leadership team that is subject to change with every statewide election. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) is an independent, nonpartisan government organization whose leadership has never changed as a result of a gubernatorial election. Governed by a board comprised primarily of business leaders, VEDP will be a committed, capable, professional, and responsive partner.
