“Virginia has been a game changer for us. Since moving our operational headquarters here in 2008, we’ve grown from a $6 million business to a $600 million government contractor, driven by access to talent, partnerships, and a pro-business environment,” said 22nd Century Technologies CEO Anil Sharma. “This expansion reflects our commitment to innovation and public service.”

As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies.

The company’s growth not only reflects the Commonwealth’s strength in the IT and government services sectors, but it also brings significant economic opportunity to Virginia.”
VEDP worked with the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) to secure the project.
