A Variety of Major Industries Call Newport News Home

Newport News and Hampton Roads retain many of the world's most well-known organizations. Our domestic and international profiles are substantial and our area is decidedly pro-business.

As an Employment at Will and Right to Work state, Virginia has labor laws that appeal to employers and employees alike. And with only one local taxing authority in each community, Hampton Roads boasts some of the lowest combined state and local tax rates in the nation. There's no local income tax, unitary tax, state property tax, local license tax on headquarters or regional offices, intangible property tax, or inventory tax.

It's no wonder these notable and major organizations call this home.
