Last month, Virginia's Gateway Region Economic Development Organization hosted the Virginia Economic Development Partnership's (VEDP) new President & CEO Stephen Moret for a regional familiarity tour of the southern half of the Richmond MSA.

VEDP leads Virginia's marketing efforts to businesses both domestically and internationally, negotiating incentives with companies planning large capital investment and significant job creation. A close partner of VGR, VEDP works to bring more jobs to the Commonwealth.
