Greater Richmond’s robust infrastructure in the mid-Atlantic connects it to the rest of the country and the world. One of Greater Richmond’s key advantages for businesses is its strategic location on the East Coast’s longest thoroughfare: Interstate 95.
The region commits to maintaining its high-quality connectivity and growing its multimodal public transit and commuting systems. In addition to $2.2 billion in planned infrastructure work statewide, Greater Richmond is committed to expanding local transit and national connectivity.
