The governor announced that SAIC will invest $25 million and create 1,200 new jobs in Virginia over the next three years, with many of those jobs being created in northern Virginia.
SAIC said it is the seventh Fortune 500 Company based in the county and it's the third corporation to relocate headquarters to Fairfax County, Va. from California within the last two years, following CSC and Hilton Hotels. In addition, Volkswagen Group of America relocated its corporate headquarters to Fairfax County, Va. in 2008 from Michigan.
"Having the headquarters of a major corporation locate in your community is always big news. Having a world-class, highly respected company such as SAIC select your community as its home is a landmark event," said Gerald L. Gordon, PhD., president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority. "Our economy, our community and our collective quality of life just got much stronger."
"As one of the premier centers of technology in the United States, Fairfax County is an excellent business location for our corporate headquarters," said Walt Havenstein, SAIC chief executive officer. "We commend Jerry Gordon and his team at the Economic Development Authority for creating an environment that is very supportive of business."
The FCEDA worked with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership on the project, according to a release.
