Northern Virginia — the 703 — is one of the most economically dynamic regions in the United States. From Alexandria to Fairfax to Woodbridge to Manassas, NoVA is home to a diverse and growing Black community that is building real wealth across the I-95 and I-66 corridors. The Black-owned businesses in Northern Virginia represent a generation of entrepreneurs who chose to build here — in one of the most competitive markets on the East Coast — and succeeded. From Franconia to Lake Ridge to Centreville, the NoVA Black business community is organized, ambitious, and growing.
