The Central Virginia Partnership for Economic Development is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization formed in 1995 to foster job creation and investment in Central Virginia. As a regional public/private collaboration, it coordinates with regional partners and serves as a liaison for the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the Virginia Department of Business Assistance, focusing on strengthening the local business climate across eight localities in and around Charlottesville. The partnership supports existing businesses, entrepreneurs, job seekers, and employers by integrating its resources with the Central Virginia Small Business Development Center and the Piedmont Workforce Network to broaden service offerings. Its region leverages assets such as a highly educated workforce, proximity to the University of Virginia, transportation infrastructure, and a pro-business environment to promote growth and diversification. The organization operates in the Central Virginia region, including Charlottesville, Albemarle, Culpeper, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Nelson, and Orange Counties, with activities that aim to balance economic development with quality of life in urban and rural communities. A notable recent development includes participation in GO Virginia initiatives, reflecting ongoing regional efforts to advance talent and industry growth.
