# 16 is a Dogue loam; "This is a nearly level, moderately well drained soil on broad terraces along the larger streams."  It is a class II soil due to wetness, slow permeability.

#6 is Aquults, gravelley substratum; "These are deep, nearly level, poorly drained and somewhat poorly drained soils on broad, slightly concave terraces along the larger streams."  It is a class V soil due to wetness.  This is the smallest percentage of the Property and is the location of the streams.

Open fields which have been farmed over a century and a half dominate the Property.

Virginia Economic Development Partnership

Partnership Overview

Simplifying Site Selection and International Trade

In 1995, the Virginia General Assembly created the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to better serve those seeking a prime business location and increased trade opportunities and, therefore, to foster increased expansion of the Commonwealth's economy. As a state authority, the Partnership is governed by a 21 member Board Of Directors comprised of businesspersons from around Virginia, each of whom is appointed by the Governor and the General Assembly. Our Executive Director is employed by the Board to oversee the fulfillment of our mission:

"To enhance the quality of life and raise the standard of living for all Virginians, in collaboration with Virginia communities, through aggressive business recruitment, expansion assistance, and trade development, thereby expanding the tax base and creating higher-income employment opportunities."

To fulfill this mission, we focus on cultivating new business investment, fostering international trade growth and encouraging the expansion of existing Virginia businesses.

The Partnership consists of several divisions whose combined expertise confidentially provides the resources you need to make the most informed location or expansion decision with the least amount of your time and effort.
