The future of Virginia’s economic development success is talent attraction, retention, and development.
Given heightened global competition for economic development and the changes unfolding in the economy, it is critical that we do everything in our power to get Virginians back into the workforce and grow and diversify the Commonwealth’s economy to perform above the national average.
Investment in economic development initiatives, including workforce training and retraining programs, should be a cornerstone of efforts in the Commonwealth to further improve Virginia’s position in national business climate rankings.

"My family has lived in Virginia for 12 generations and for most all of that time we have been really very poor. I understand what it means to be given an educational opportunity, an opportunity to be able to succeed. What I want is to make sure across the Commonwealth that everybody has the opportunity to succeed. Not only as individuals, but as businesses. When we are doing things to help other parts of the state, we are helping the entire state. That’s the epitome of the definition of us being a Commonwealth," said Delegate David A. Reid after being named a 2022 VEDA Michael W. Woods Legislator of the Year at the annual Legislative Reception on January 18, 2023.
Delegate Barry D. Knight also received the award but was unable to attend the reception and is not pictured here.
