Alexandria Economic Development Partnership

As George Washington’s hometown and as a bustling commercial seaport during colonial times, Alexandria was one of America’s first mixed-use developments. While Alexandria continues to honor its historic reputation through its architecture and landmarks, street festivals and strong sense of community, the city has experienced profound growth and economic vitality in the past decade. This growth has established an atmosphere that blends cultural authenticity with contemporary living; no other jurisdiction can offer the dynamic combination of assets, access, and atmosphere that make Alexandria unique. Alexandria continues to forge ahead in the 21st century with a shared vision for the future that promotes creativity, diversity, and sustainable economic growth.
