“AvalonBay’s Virginia Beach location provides vital financial and management support for its apartment communities across the country,” said Warren Harris, director of Virginia Beach Economic Development. “They have made a significant investment in our city not only in terms of its physical size, but also in its investment to hire and train a very competent workforce.”
The company was awarded an Economic Development Investment Program grant in the amount of $25,000 based on the capital investment anticipated with the expansion of $1.4 million in addition to the number of new jobs.
“We are very excited to expand our operations here,” said Steve Fabian, vice president of AvalonBay. “We have had tremendous success in Virginia Beach since we opened the Customer Care Center in 2007. In particular, we have been able to identify and attract quality talent to grow our operations. This expansion represents our ongoing commitment to the Virginia Beach area. We have also significantly benefitted from our partnership with the Virginia Beach Department of Economic Development, which has assisted us every step of the way.”
