What companies are saying about Greater Richmond

MeadWestvaco Corporation began moving its corporate headquarters to Richmond from Stamford, Connecticut, during the summer of 2006. Here’s what MeadWestvaco Chairman and CEO John Luke said about their decision: “…Our relocation team spent over a year studying various sites around the country…I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge some of the many people who worked diligently and collaboratively in helping MeadWestvaco make its final decision: Governor Tim Kaine; former Governor Mark Warner; the Greater Richmond Partnership…Undoubtedly, the teamwork and can-do spirit expressed by the greater Richmond area weighed heavily as we made our final decision; in that same spirit, we are enthusiastic about being a part of this vibrant community and contributing to its prosperity as we look to build our company's future here.”
