Home of the Extra Mile.

The Henrico County Economic Development Authority (EDA) is as unique as the region we serve. Our experienced staff is ready to partner with you and power your business toward success—connecting you with the most up-to-the-minute property listings, business incentives, and workforce development opportunities Henrico has to offer.

That’s a huge advantage when you’re looking to expand or relocate your business. Our locality is the largest employer in the region and home to most jobs in the Greater Richmond Area. Add to that Henrico's AAA bond rating, skilled workforce and low operating expenses, and you have a region that offers the ideal business climate for any company. Looking for a place with world-class culture, an affordable cost of living, and a high quality of life? Welcome to Henrico County!

We’re a thriving metropolitan community adjacent to Richmond, Virginia's capital. Henrico may be located in the middle of the eastern seaboard, but there’s nothing middle of the road about us. Our central location and transportation infrastructure make it possible for our businesses to reach over 55% of the U.S. population within two days of delivery by truck—maybe that’s why nine of the fastest-growing businesses in the nation call Henrico home.

But don’t just take our word for it. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to start your small business or a larger company looking to expand, contact the Henrico EDA and see how our services can take your business to the next level.
