Hampton Roads has taken a bold step to attract and retain top talent. Start in Hampton Roads is a new regional initiative designed to showcase everything that makes our communities an incredible place to live, work, and grow.
The campaign will spotlight Hampton Roads’ strengths – from our thriving industries, world-class educational institutions, and entrepreneurial resources to our vibrant arts, culture, and outdoor recreation. Through targeted marketing, storytelling, and outreach, Start in Hampton Roads aims to connect with people at every stage of their career journey – whether they are just starting out, relocating, or seeking their next big opportunity.
This milestone is the result of extraordinary regional collaboration.
