Chesterfield County

 

Location

Chesterfield County is located in east-central Virginia on the Interstate 95 corridor between the city of Richmond to the north and Petersburg and Colonial Heights to the south.  The city of Hopewell is located southeast of the county.  Chesterfield is one of Virginia’s fastest growing communities owing to a robust and diversified economy, a highly-skilled labor force, and an expanding highway and transportation network.  The aggressive road building posture taken by the county has helped spawn a significant increase in its inventory of available commercial and industrial properties.

Washington, D.C., is approximately 110 miles north, and Norfolk is 85 miles east.
