Virginians for Offshore Wind is excited to announce the Virginia Economic Developers Association (VEDA) as the newest member of our coalition. As the leading economic development organization in the Commonwealth, VEDA brings a powerful, industry-wide voice advocating for the continued growth and success of Virginia’s offshore wind industry.

“VEDA’s commitment to fostering economic growth perfectly aligns with Virginians for Offshore Wind’s mission to position Virginia at the forefront of clean energy innovation,” said Kelsey Van Horne, spokesperson for Virginians for Offshore Wind. “We are eager to collaborate and accelerate the growth of Virginia’s offshore wind industry—driving job creation, attracting new investments, and building a sustainable future for all Virginians.”

“Advancing the offshore wind industry in Virginia is an important step in delivering innovative energy solutions and driving growth in an emerging energy sector,” said Linda Green, president of VEDA. “This dynamic industry is creating hundreds of well-paying jobs and strengthening both state and local economies while diversifying energy sources. We are excited to support the development of this sector and help position Virginia as a leader in offshore wind solutions.”

As Virginians for Offshore Wind continues to expand our coalition, we invite other organizations to join us in supporting the offshore wind industry in Virginia. Together, we can ensure that this industry benefits the Commonwealth for generations to come.
