With a rapidly expanding population, supportive local leadership, and workforce training partnerships, New Kent offers both the space and momentum for sustainable economic growth.
New Kent County is rapidly becoming a major logistics and industrial hub, centered along Interstate-64 between Richmond and the Port of Virginia.
