Enterprise Zone Locations

Chesterfield County has two enterprise zones and three sub-zones. These "zones" are distinct geographical areas of a county, city or town, designated by the Governor of Virginia, with the specific goal of encouraging business location and expansion in these selected areas of the State.  As such, Enterprise Zones and Sub-zones provide an attractive State and Local incentive package to businesses choosing to locate in these areas, as long as the company meets the following objectives:  Increase private investment and job creation, encourage manufacturing and commercial uses, promote rehabilitation of the area's existing older commercial and industrial structures and promote the area's revitalization through increased economic activity.
