CNBC Ranks Virginia #2 in Nation for Business

Virgina's business climate continues to receive accolades from 3rd party sources. CNBC has ranked Virginia as the second best state for business in 2008. This was a slight decline from the #1 ranking last year. Still Virginia has maintained a "business friendly" environment with a very competitive cost of doing business and an innovative technology infrastructure and workforce.

Chesterfield Economic Development will use the ranking in its recruitment efforts. These types of objective evaluations help companies compare areas as they look to relocate or expand.
