President’s Message

On behalf of the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, welcome to our beautiful and historic region. Made up of the City of Fredericksburg and the surrounding counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford, this area truly is a gem in Virginia’s crown.

You’re entering an area that boasts one of the fastest-growing economies and highest standards of living in the United States. This is an ideal spot to locate a business—we are found a mere 50 miles from Washington, D.C. and 50 miles from Richmond, Virginia.

Our primary schools and institutions of higher learning are second to none in the nation. We have a highly educated workforce, and we are a hub for the most advanced healthcare via three hospitals and a host of other medical providers.

In addition, this is a community steeped in history. Three of our Founding Fathers—all of whom were elected president—called this area home at some point. It was also, as so many historians have reminded us, the crossroads of the most tragic chapter in American history, the Civil War.

The people of Fredericksburg have great love and respect for their history, even as they keep their eyes on the future.

Entertainment options abound, whether you’d like to tour an antebellum home, visit a Civil War battlefield, take in a movie or simply enjoy an evening of fine dining.

The people of the Fredericksburg Region support a wide array of non-profit and civic organizations that work daily to improve both the local quality of life and give aid and comfort to those in need around the world.

Thank you for coming to the Fredericksburg Region.

If you’re visiting, stay awhile. If you’re looking for a place to settle down, please consider making this your home.

The Fredericksburg Region truly is a wonderful place to live and work.

Susan Spears
President
