This Incubator System would not be possible without the help of two very progressive, forward-thinking entities: the City of Hampton and James City County.
The City of Hampton
Hampton, a robust waterfront city in southeastern Virginia, has caught the attention of top businesses and developers from around the country. In fact, some of the most successful and innovative companies in their industries are investing in Hampton right now. So, why has this urban waterfront city become a hot spot on the east coast?
Hampton has a unique mix of growing and established business clusters strategically designed to succeed. Their prosperity is due, in part, to local and regional assets, a highly educated workforce, competitive incentives, and state-of-the-art business parks.
In addition to a great business climate, Hampton's unique location in the center of Hampton Roads is attracting some of the nation's most successful housing, retail, and hotel developers. They see a city dedicated to improving its quality of life and making Hampton a regional entertainment and shopping destination. Combine Hampton's location, abundant waterfront, successful business clusters, unique housing and retail developments, and it's easy to see why so many companies are investing in Hampton.
