Newport News is breaking through. We’re back to work and back to play. We’re reuniting, rediscovering and reinvigorating our City.
We’re breaking new ground, quite literally, as business blossoms. With investments from legacy companies like Mühlbauer and High Liner Foods, to facilities for newcomers like Aldora Glass, Certified Origins, S23 and Mercana, our EDA team has paved the way for success in 2022.


The Newport News EDA has been hard at work empowering an entrepreneurial revolution that is growing the next generation of breakthrough companies. From real estate to tax incentives to financing, marketing and beyond, we surround the most innovative businesses with the support they need to flourish.

A reliable and qualified, motivated workforce is every company’s need, which is why so many leading businesses set up shop in Newport News. The EDA has focused on cultivating a robust labor pool, filled with entry-level to experienced workers and many ex-military, who all bring incredible skill and work ethic to the table.

One of our most important goals is to develop, implement and maintain programs that lead to a diversified, dynamic, always-expanding economy. Equally important aspects are to create economic opportunity and prosperity for residents, revenue growth to fund city services, stimulate quality of life and address economic equity.

There’s nothing we at the EDA love more than seeing our City evolve and thrive. We put a lot of energy into acquiring and redeveloping deteriorating properties, as well as guiding businesses towards City and state incentives as they create new offerings for our residents and economy.
