Louisa County
Louisa County is a quickly growing county, located between Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia’s capital city. Twenty miles of Interstate 64 run along the southern end of Louisa, offering access to markets to the east and west as well as to Interstates 95 and 81. Businesses also benefit from access to the extensive railroad track in Louisa. In addition to this excellent ground transportation, Louisa County businesses have access to the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, Richmond International Airport, the Louisa County Municipal Airport, and the Port of Virginia. Louisa businesses leverage this strategic location and exceptional transportation infrastructure to manufacture and deliver goods and services both domestically and abroad.
Louisa County businesses also leverage the Central Virginia’s skilled workforce to compete in the marketplace. Over 55% of Louisa’s workforce commute outside of the County for work, offering an opportunity for new and expanding businesses to capture this talented labor pool. Coupled with a labor shed of 200,000 skilled and adaptable workers, Louisa employers easily find the labor that their business requires.
With its pro business climate, strategic transportation infrastructure, skilled workforce, and room for growth and expansion, Louisa County is an excellent place to locate or expand a business.
