Governor Bob McDonnell ceremonially signed six bills to make Virginia more competitive in creating and retaining high-tech jobs today at the grand opening for the new Acentia headquarters in Fairfax. He was joined by legislators, local elected officials, Northern Virginia Technology Council President and CEO Bobbie Kilberg, Acentia CEO Todd Stottlemeyer and other technology industry representatives.
The bills expand a data center sales tax exemption, encourage investment in technology startups and extend the Virginia telework tax credit. After signing the bills, the governor cut the ribbon for the new corporate headquarters of Acentia, which announced its move from Silver Spring, Maryland to Falls Church in January of this year. The project will create 60 new jobs.
