ICF International, a professional services firm, is investing $15 million and creating 539 jobs in Martinsville, Virginia. The company will locate an operation center for business process management (BPM) there.

"ICF is proud to expand its operations in Virginia and to call the commonwealth its home," said Sudhakar Kesavan, chairman and CEO of ICF International. "As a professional services firm, ICF International maintains its global headquarters here, which offers the best combination of a robust economy, a pro-business climate, a high-quality work force, and an outstanding quality of life for ICF employees. We are pleased to open this new operations center in Henry County and to build our work force from local residents."

Governor Bob McDonnell has approved a $500,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund to assist Henry County with the project.

The company is eligible for benefits from the Virginia Enterprise Zone Program, administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.
