ABOUT THE FAIRFAX COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) promotes Fairfax County as a global business and technology center. The FCEDA provides a wide array of free and confidential services and information to assist expanding domestic and international companies and organizations. The FCEDA maintains worldwide offices in six major commercial centers: Silicon Valley, Bangalore, Frankfurt, London, Seoul and Tel Aviv. FCEDA services include: • providing current, comprehensive market information about Fairfax County, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Washington, D.C, area; • assisting businesses with start-up, relocation or expansion needs by identifying and showing county office or industrial real estate options that best suit their requirements; • assisting companies to expand existing operations by providing information and answering inquiries about county zoning, taxes and other issues critical to doing business; • acting as liaison between businesses and regulatory agencies; and • providing information for employees relocating to the county. The FCEDA is an independent authority created under state law, operating under the direction of seven commissioners appointed by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Its activities are funded by Fairfax County. “ As a company focused on developing risk and compliance software for large enterprises, it is important to be headquartered where we can recruit top software engineers. We are very pleased with the support we have received from the Fairfax County EDA as we aggressively expand our business across the globe.” Julian Waits, president and CEO, Brabeion Software
