  • Virginia Attracts $6 Billion in Major Investments: Youngkin Leads Economic Surge Amid Political Shifts

    Virginia Attracts $6 Billion in Major Investments: Youngkin Leads Economic Surge Amid Political Shifts
    2025/12/18
    Virginia continues to attract major investments amid shifting political tides and economic challenges. Governor Glenn Youngkin announced LS Cable & System Ltd.'s $689 million expansion in Chesapeake, the largest capital investment in Hampton Roads history, poised to create over 430 jobs in power and communication cables, bolstering national supply chains. Eaton is investing more than $50 million in Henrico County to expand manufacturing for critical power equipment, adding 200 jobs to meet AI-driven data center demands, according to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership. Goochland County earned top honors for Eli Lilly's $5 billion manufacturing facility, expected to generate 1,800 construction jobs and 650 permanent high-wage positions. Meanwhile, federal employment and trade declined in 2025, per Virginia Business reports.

    In politics, Youngkin vetoed hundreds of bills over four years, including minimum wage hikes to $15 by 2027, but incoming Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger and a Democratic legislature may revive them in 2026, JD Supra notes. Special elections loom for Richmond-area House and Senate seats, VPM reports, alongside pushes for right-to-work reforms and rejoining the ERIC elections data-sharing system.

    Education sees progress with state grants funding HVAC and roof repairs at Richmond's Armstrong High and another school, totaling part of $88 million approved by the Virginia Board of Education. Roanoke County advances renovations at elementary schools and a new Career and Technology Center, ahead of schedule for mid-2026 openings. Infrastructure funding in Youngkin's FY2026-28 budget includes $299 million for school construction and $35 million for a Southwest Virginia inland port to link with Hampton Roads.

    No significant recent weather events disrupted the commonwealth, though Richmond forecasts remain mild.

    Looking Ahead, watch the 2026 legislative session starting soon, potential minimum wage and labor law changes under new leadership, and project milestones like Eaton's expansion and Norfolk school consolidations.

  • Virginia Sees Major Economic Boost: $689M LS Cable Investment and Democratic Statehouse Sweep Highlight Transformative Week

    Virginia Sees Major Economic Boost: $689M LS Cable Investment and Democratic Statehouse Sweep Highlight Transformative Week
    2025/12/16
    Governor Glenn Youngkin announced LS Cable & System Ltd.'s $689 million investment in Chesapeake, the largest capital project in Hampton Roads history, expected to create over 430 jobs in power and communication cables, enhancing national supply chains and energy infrastructure, according to the Governor's office. Eaton is expanding its Henrico County manufacturing with over $50 million, adding 200 jobs in critical power solutions for data centers and AI, as reported by the Governor's newsroom. Democrats secured a strong majority in the Virginia House after flipping 13 seats in 2025 elections, their largest since the 1980s, per Bolts analysis, setting up full control of state government despite Republican Governor Youngkin.

    The General Assembly convened briefly amid Richmond's water outages from a snowstorm, adopting a schedule with key dates like crossover on February 4 and adjournment February 22, according to the Virginia Association of Counties. Special elections loom January 6 for House District 77, where Democrat Charlie Schmidt won his nomination, and Senate District 15, per VPM reports. Attorney General Jason Miyares sued Uber for deceptive subscription practices, protecting consumers from unauthorized charges.

    Roanoke County Public Schools advances infrastructure with renovations at W.E. Cundiff and Glen Cove elementaries plus a new Career and Technology Center ahead of schedule, alongside Go Tec labs in middle schools to boost career pathways, as detailed in their 2025 State of the Schools. The Virginia Coalfields Expressway Authority reviewed engineering studies identifying funding for economic and safety benefits in southwest Virginia.

    No major recent weather events beyond the snowstorm impacting Richmond.

    Looking Ahead: Watch January 6 special elections that could solidify Democratic gains, the full General Assembly session starting January 13 with Governor's address, and potential constitutional amendments on abortion rights and voting restoration.

  • Virginia's Manufacturing Boom: $689M LS Cable Expansion Drives Economic Growth and Job Creation

    Virginia's Manufacturing Boom: $689M LS Cable Expansion Drives Economic Growth and Job Creation
    2025/12/14
    Virginia continues to attract major manufacturing investments, bolstering its economy amid a busy political transition and recent winter weather challenges. Governor Glenn Youngkin announced LS Cable & System Ltd.'s $689 million expansion in Chesapeake, the largest capital investment in Hampton Roads history, set to create over 430 jobs in power and communication cables, according to the Governor's office. Eaton plans a $50 million expansion in Henrico County, adding 200 jobs for critical power solutions, as reported by the Governor and Virginia Business. These developments highlight Virginia's push to reshore manufacturing and meet rising energy demands.

    Politically, Democrats secured their largest House majority since the 1980s after flipping 21 percent of GOP seats in 2025 elections, per Bolts analysis, with Abigail Spanberger set to become the state's first female governor. The General Assembly convened briefly on January 8 amid Richmond water outages from a snowstorm, adopting a session schedule ending February 22, according to the Virginia Association of Counties. Incoming leaders eye constitutional amendments on abortion rights, voting restoration, and redistricting.

    In education, the Virginia Department of Education released 2024-25 data showing over half of elementary schools achieved significant growth in reading and math under the new School Performance and Support Framework, with $31 million in grants targeting underperforming schools. Infrastructure advances include preliminary engineering for the Coalfields Expressway and a $500 million Avio USA rocket motor plant.

    Recent weather brought two snowstorms in four days around December 5 and 8, dumping 2-5 inches across much of the state, including Southwest and Southside regions, as detailed by Cardinal News. More snow chances loom from northwest winds and an Alberta clipper.

    Public safety efforts persist, with Henrico supervisors approving an animal cruelty registry and Goochland earning a top project award from the Virginia Economic Developers Association.

    Looking Ahead: Watch the January 13 State of the Commonwealth address, a January 6 state Senate special election, and December 16 Education Summit as Democrats advance amendments and businesses expand.
