National ranking builds on record growth across Virginia’s innovation ecosystem. 

RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC) announced today that Virginia has been ranked #5 in the country for “Innovation and Research Ecosystem” in Area Development’s 2026 Top States for Doing Business report. This latest recognition follows Virginia’s Top 10 national ranking (#6) for “Technology & Innovation” in CNBC’s 2026 America’s Top States for Business study and builds on record growth across Virginia’s statewide innovation ecosystem during the past five years. VIPC serves as the Commonwealth’s nonprofit economic development authority dedicated to growing Virginia’s innovation ecosystems through public-private partnership.

Area Development is a leading executive publication covering corporate site selection and business investment. Its 16th annual Top States for Doing Business rankings are based on a survey of expert industry consultants who evaluated states across 20 categories. “Innovation and Research Ecosystem” was Virginia’s second-highest ranked category. Virginia ranked #8 overall nationally, including #1 for “Workforce Training Programs.”

“Virginia has cultivated a robust ecosystem that connects innovation, talent, and capital, enabling businesses of all sizes to build and grow in the Commonwealth,” said Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade Carrie H. Chenery. “Through collaboration with Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation and statewide partners, we are helping researchers and entrepreneurs transform ideas into companies that create thriving communities, good jobs, and create opportunities for all Virginians.”

Over the past five years, Virginia’s innovation ecosystem has accelerated, achieving record growth milestones across university research, high-growth startup formation, and venture capital investment. Annual university research expenditures in Virginia have increased more than 40% during this period, outpacing the national growth rate and climbing to an all-time high of $2.6 billion. Over 25,000 new high-growth startups have launched throughout the Commonwealth since 2020, representing a record five-year cumulative total. Venture capital investment in Virginia startups and early-stage technology companies has also nearly doubled since 2020, reaching a record-high $2.9 billion in 2025.

“Virginia is where innovation thrives, and our Top 5 national ranking reflects the tremendous momentum across our innovation ecosystem,” said Joe Benevento, President and CEO of VIPC. “This shared success is driven by collaboration with partners throughout the Commonwealth, united by a vision to make Virginia the best place to launch, grow, and thrive.”

Virginia is continuing to innovate. Last year, VIPC created Lab-to-Launch, a unique statewide collaboration with Virginia’s leading R1 and R2 research universities to accelerate research commercialization, technology transfer, and startup spinouts. Designed to simplify and streamline technology transfer, Virginia’s Lab-to-Launch offers a faster, easier, and less costly pathway for licensing university intellectual property (IP) and advancing innovation into the marketplace. This new initiative aims to help Virginia universities double their annual technology startup spinouts.

HelloNation Article Highlights Downsizing Strategies From Real Estate Experts Holly Abel Grimm and Rich Grimm

Published

By

The article explains how long-time homeowners and seniors can prepare emotionally and financially for a successful move.

NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When is the right time for long-time homeowners or seniors to consider downsizing? A HelloNation article offers a clear, thoughtful guide to when and how to make this critical life transition.

In the feature, New Philadelphia-based real estate professionals Holly Abel Grimm and Rich Grimm, of Holly & Rich Grimm at REMAX Crossroads, offer practical advice to help seniors sell their homes or prepare to downsize. The article highlights the emotional and logistical challenges that often accompany selling a family home and outlines how homeowners can approach the process with confidence and clarity.

For many longtime homeowners, downsizing isn’t just about reducing space. It’s about finding a living arrangement that better matches current needs. The HelloNation article reframes downsizing as rightsizing, a mindset shift that helps lessen the emotional weight of the decision. This approach encourages homeowners to focus less on what they’re leaving behind and more on how they want to live going forward.

The article explains that preparing for downsizing is most effective when started early and approached gradually. Holly Abel Grimm and Rich Grimm emphasize that signs often emerge over time—whether in unused rooms, maintenance issues, or daily tasks that become more tiring. Recognizing these signs can prompt meaningful conversations and reduce the chance of rushed decisions later.

Seniors selling a home often face the added challenge of emotional attachment. Memories and family history tied to a house can make moving overwhelming. The HelloNation feature suggests breaking the process into small steps, starting with organizing storage areas and sorting personal items in manageable sessions. This helps long-time homeowners see progress without feeling burdened.

One key recommendation from the article is to engage in open conversations with family members early in the process. Discussing plans, financial concerns, and future goals helps align expectations and avoid misunderstandings. For seniors selling a home, these discussions also help ensure their wishes remain central to the plan, rather than being shaped by outside pressure.

From a practical standpoint, preparing a property for sale begins long before a home is listed. According to the article, addressing basic maintenance, minor repairs, and cosmetic updates can significantly improve the home’s market performance. This not only improves the sales experience but also allows homeowners to move at a pace that feels right for them.

Working with experienced real estate agents, such as Holly Abel Grimm and Rich Grimm, can provide clarity throughout this process. With a strong understanding of New Philadelphia’s local market, these professionals help clients navigate every stage, from determining the right time to move to assessing financial readiness. Their insight supports thoughtful decision-making and reduces uncertainty for those preparing to downsize.

Financial planning is another significant component of rightsizing. As the HelloNation article notes, seniors selling a home benefit from understanding how the sale will affect their overall financial situation. This includes considerations around retirement income, future housing costs, and long-term care. Having a strategy in place creates a smoother path toward a new chapter in life.

Ultimately, the article’s message is clear: downsizing a home should never be a rushed or reactive decision. By starting early and focusing on emotional, physical, and financial readiness, long-time homeowners can view the process as a step toward greater comfort and security.

Downsizing or Rightsizing Your Home: A Practical Guide for Long-Time Homeowners and Seniors features insights from Holly Abel Grimm and Rich Grimm, real estate experts at Holly & Rich Grimm at REMAX Crossroads in New Philadelphia, OH, in HelloNation.
