 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.
