The SFDC is focused on business retention and expansion to help existing companies grow. Here are some of the ways we help businesses grow:
- Understand the Fairfax County land-use processes and provide assistance in expediting permitting and related regulatory requirements.
- Envision opportunities for growth into new areas
- Envision opportunities for consolidating operations along Richmond Highway
- Identify available county and state incentives for existing businesses that are creating new jobs and/or investing in the community
- Develop educational programs that will provide a local workforce with the knowledge and skill sets needed to contribute successfully to local companies
- Identify workforce development resources when specialized skills are required
The SFDC works closely with the Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber of Commerce, the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, the Fairfax County Office of Community Revitalization and Reinvestment and other groups countywide.
