RVA757 Connects is advancing a bold vision: Make the I-64 Innovation Corridor the next Global Internet Hub.

Cities around the world have learned that intentional collaboration, not competition, with nearby metro areas drive the scale and economic success of both localities. In Virginia, RVA757 Connects has been advancing this model for the Richmond (RVA) and Hampton Roads (757) regions. The result has put the I-64 Innovation Corridor, an 8,000-square-mile contiguous region, on the map of America’s megaregions.

RVA757 Connects (www.RVA757Connects.com) is a 501(c)(3) organization focused on advancing the economic prosperity of both regions. The organization identifies, supports, and advances major opportunities, initiatives, and projects that meaningfully benefit both the Richmond region and Hampton Roads. We are advancing our megaregion as the I-64 Innovation Corridor.

RVA757 Connects’ Board of Directors is comprised of community, business, and higher education leaders. In addition to the Board, RVA757 Connects includes the Megaregion Institutional Council (MIC), which contains representation from key planning organizations in both regions.
