Any northern Virginia city will have the inside track. High enough regional income and expensive housing for execs, big population in the metro area, an opportunity to turn a purple state blue and the hub of government to suckle.
Two issues with the Virginia idea. One is already congested traffic situation that exists. The other is the limited employment pool to draw upon. I would add that the local cost factor means you will pay more for every single employee. I’m more likely to believe that Nashville, Knoxville or Raleigh has the better chance.
