PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — Medliminal, LLC, an innovative leader in medical cost containment and healthcare cost reduction, is moving its corporate headquarters to Innovation Park.
According to Elise Baker, Director of Marketing at Medliminal, the move is a positive one.
In February of this year, the United States Tennis Association Mid-Atlantic (USTA MAS) announced it will locate its new headquarters and state-of-the-art tennis facility in Innovation Park, in Prince William County. The Board of County Supervisors approved an agreement between USTA MAS and the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) of Prince William County and agreed to assign a $100,000 Economic Development Opportunity Fund (EDOF) grant as an incentive for the project, which is due to be completed by 2021.
The USTA Mid-Atlantic Section, one of 17 sections of the United States Tennis Association, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization serving more than 33,000 members in the D.C. metro area. According to the USTA MAS, tennis players of all ages and skill levels are involved in leagues, tournaments and programs sanctioned by the section. Over 300,000 visitors are anticipated to visit the new USTA facility per year.
In July, Ceres Nanosciences (Ceres) announced it received Breakthrough Device designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its new point-of-care Nanotrap Lyme Antigen Test System. This diagnostic test requires only a patient’s urine sample to deliver results to the physician and patient at the earliest stages of infection, when treatment is most successful.
Under the Breakthrough Device program, the FDA works with a test developer to reduce the time and cost from development to approval.
The 610 Car Wash celebrates its 30 year anniversary this year and the Car Wash preaches customer service over everything else. Majority owner and founder Gary Tardiff believes that a happy customer is the key for a successful business. Tardiff is a big believer that if there are happy customers and happy employees then the profits will come.
“Big corporations are getting away from the ‘customer touch’,” Tardiff said. “We never think about making profit. We’re not out to save money, we’re out to do a good job.”
MANASSAS — The seventh annual airshow being held at Manassas Regional Airport this Saturday has a new name, one that recognizes its largest sponsor: The 2018 Leaseweb Manassas Airshow.
That big sponsorship is good for the 15,000 to 20,000 spectators expected to attend the free show, which can only be seen on site.
MANASSAS — When people are seeking a service animal and vision impairment is the issue, Guiding Eyes for the Blind has been there since 1954, offering services free of charge.
The organization that has graduated over 7,000 guide dog teams is located in Yorktown Heights, New York. And while that might not seem local to the Prince William area, locals have gotten involved in raising exceptional dogs.
Life, health, and biotechnology sciences are getting a local hand up, thanks to the Prince William Science Accelerator. Ross Dunlap, CEO of Ceres Nanosciences, Inc., can tell you how it has been beneficial to his organization.
Ceres is the first company to “graduate” from the accelerator, which Dunlap says, “provides wet-lab space to life sciences companies of all sizes – from the earliest stage start-ups to emerging life sciences companies.”
When people think about Historic Manassas, they don’t typically think of the maritime industry. Yet that’s the industry this Prince William Chamber of Commerce business award winner is in.
Headquartered in the heart of Downtown Manassas, Hepburn and Sons, LLC is family-owned. With deep roots in the Navy, the company’s main objective is to give the U.S. Navy a leg up in winning missions by helping them integrate new technologies.
MANASSAS — November elections can be a game changer for government at any level, and Manassas City was no different.
This year marked a first in the history of the Prince William Chamber’s business awards.
Each year, the Chamber invites Manassas, Manassas Park, and Prince William County to present an award of their choosing at the annual business awards event. The selection criteria are entirely up to them.
