Jefferson and Berkley Counties have a lot to offer companies. Easy access to EW and NS Interstates,close proximity to airports like Dulles and the Martinsburg Air Guard facility that can handle any size aircraft and is a plum that is ready to be picked,close to DC and. We also could drew a well educated workforce from close by MD,PA and VA.
