The city and county of Fairfax, Virginia, could be fairly described as the Silicon Valley of the state. Just minutes from the nation's capital and part of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, Fairfax is home to thousands of technology companies. The city and surrounding county are among the most affluent regions of Virginia and attract droves of young professionals and entrepreneurs building careers in the high-tech industries.
Fairfax covers more than 6 square miles and has a population of more than 23,000.
Today Fairfax is a prosperous, cosmopolitan city, with small-town charm and an ideal blend of commercial corridors with large offices and commercial space to quaint shops, townhomes and stately renovated houses in the city's Historic District.
Fairfax officials have created several initiatives to aid homeowners and to enhance communities in the city. Neighborhood Renaissance Programs were developed to facilitate the home-renovation process for residents. These programs are designed to help homeowners plan and complete their home-improvement projects. Highlights include the Real Estate Tax Exemption Program, the 0% Interest Loan Program, Home Repair Assistance, the Civic/Homeowners Association Grant Competition, and Residential Appearance Awards.
The city and surrounding Fairfax County are home to more than 5,400 technology companies, from publicly held corporations to entrepreneurial startups, employing more than 135,000 people.
