Ventech Solutions, an information technology company, is bringing 200 new jobs to Prince William.
According to a release from the Prince William County Department of Economic Development, Ventech Solutions is planning to invest more than $1.5 million, establishing the company’s regional base of operations at 23,392 square foot facility on Battleview Parkway in Manassas.
Ventech’s positions offer an average wage of $80,000, according to a release.
Governor Terry McAuliffe and Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart made comments about Ventech’s decision to move to the area.
“As Governor, I am working to help the Commonwealth become the leading state for Information Technology (IT) as we build a new, Hi-Tech Virginia economy. We have the assets and the infrastructure, and with the help of strong corporate partners like Ventech Solutions continuing to expand the company’s footprint into the Commonwealth, I am confident we will be the Cyber-Capital of America,” said McAuliffe in a release.
“We’re delighted to welcome Ventech to Prince William County and to our growing IT business community. The addition of 200 new jobs at an average salary of $80,000 a year is a great example of the type of jobs we are attracting in Prince William County,” said Stewart in a release.
Prior to Ventech Solution’s decision to come to Prince William County, the board of supervisors committed $50,000 from the ‘Economic Development Opportunity Fund’ to encourage the company to locate in the county, according to a release.
A release stated that the $50,000 will be used to offset the cost of equipment purchase and renovations for Ventech Solutions.

“It was important for Ventech to establish a strong presence in the National Capital Region, at the center of a growing healthcare IT industry with access to a highly-skilled workforce and talent pipeline. Prince William County delivers all the requirements that a growing Inc. 5000 company needs to fulfill major mission-critical programs that are of national importance,” said Herb Jones, CEO, Ventech Solutions Inc.
The need for advanced technologies to increase productivity, to manage and to analyze data and to enhance security has created significant market demand for stable and innovative IT companies. Prince William County is well-positioned to take advantage of the expansion of the IT industry due to its ever-growing technical workforce and accessibility to the Northern Virginia workforce; strong educational assets and emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); and redundant power and fiber networks.
