Entrepreneurs, small biz and events are priorities for James City's economic development efforts

Modest $250K budget will be stretched to support a range of efforts, including Launchpad on Richmond Road and well-known events like Restaurant Week

A recent event at Launchpad, a regional-entrepreneurial hub on Richmond Road across from W&M. The organization, which is a partnership between local jurisdictions and the college, will receive $34,500 from James City County in Fiscal Year 2027, a portion of the county’s proposed $248,000 economic development budget.
