RVA757 Connects has created this resource center to spotlight the growing world of digital infrastructure across our state and megaregion.

Through this initiative, RVA757 Connects aims to inform, connect, and advocate by providing accessible information about the digital infrastructure ecosystem, the industries supporting it, and the critical role it plays in positioning the Richmond–Hampton Roads megaregion as a competitive, connected hub for innovation and growth.

Data centers are one piece of a larger digital infrastructure ecosystem, which has a broader set of benefits, opportunities, and challenges. 

The digital infrastructure ecosystems, as a whole, can be further leveraged to drive statewide and regional economic growth, attract high-value industries, help lift up communities through improved connectivity and digital equity programs, expand employment opportunities, and keep Virginia competitive.
