Economic Development Authority

The Economic Development Authority’s (EDA) mission is to attract, retain, generate and assist in the expansion of high-quality businesses, institutions of higher education, medical facilities and non-profit organizations to ensure the continued existence of a vibrant, stable and diverse economy within the City of Manassas and the Commonwealth of Virginia through the use of Industrial Development Bond financing, as well as loans and grants.

Directors

City Council established the Economic Development Authority (EDA) in 1977. A seven-member Board of Directors governs the EDA, each of whom is appointed by Manassas City Council to serve a four-year term. Although the EDA is a separate entity from the City of Manassas Department of Economic Development, it works closely to serve the City’s business community.
