Tech Center is a 100-acre, mixed-use development at the corner of Oyster Point Road and Jefferson Avenue in Newport News. The concept is a hybrid that fuses the best components of today’s research parks and innovation districts to create a new, unique environment encompassing neighborhood living, as well as retail, recreation and dining. By promoting the growth of a creative-minded community, Tech Center is a place to collaborate, exchange ideas and encourage high-tech entrepreneurship.

Tech Center also serves as an important economic engine for the City and the Region. It is projected to create more than 5,500 new jobs, half of them in the highest paying employment sector—Professional, Scientific and Technical Services—according to the Economic Impact Study by Magnum Economics. Magnum projects the state and local tax impact of Tech Center (at build-out) to exceed $28 million.
