The mission of the Prince William County Department of Economic Development is to improve the County’s economic base by encouraging new businesses to locate in Prince William County, retaining existing businesses and facilitating the expansion of existing businesses.

The County’s primary economic development activities are:

• Assisting existing businesses in expanding their operations;
• Identifying potential business prospects;
• Marketing the County aggressively to targeted industries and prospective client-companies;
• Developing relationships with customers, packaging proposals; and
• Closing deals that lead to job creation and economic development investment.

The goals and strategies adopted by the Board of County Supervisors (BOCS) direct the Department of Economic Development (DED) to support and promote existing business expansion and attract new quality businesses that create high paying jobs and capital investment. In addition, DED is charged with, but not measured on, other activities that promote economic development. These include accelerating collaboration with universities, and supporting other departments’ economic development activities that foster business growth – such as community revitalization and transportation infrastructure improvements. The Strategic Plan that guides the activities of the Prince William County Department of Economic Development, as well as all other County agencies, can be viewed HERE
