With Washington, D.C. in close proximity and access to Washington Dulles International Airport in the county, a diverse range of companies have chosen Loudoun as their business location. Our major employers represent just some of our valued employers and includes many leaders in industry and brand names you know like Verizon Business, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Farm Research Campus, and Orbital Sciences Corporation.
Understanding a business' desire to locate near other similar companies as well as their customer base, the Board of Supervisors supports a cluster-based economic development approach. The Board is focused on further growth of our aerospace, Information and Communications technology, and federal government industry clusters, as well as reaching out to international companies within those clusters.
