Why GO Virginia?
Virginia needs strong private sector growth and job creation.
Federal cutbacks have exposed our over-dependence on public-sector jobs.
Growth in Virginia’s diverse regions requires collaboration.
To grow and diversify our economy, business, education, and government must collaborate effectively in each region.
State government must be a catalyst and partner.
State government must provide incentives for strategic, job-focused collaboration in each region of the Commonwealth.
