Of course, military bases at Ft. Belvoir and Quantico provide an engine of government jobs and gov't contractors (like Lockeed Martin).

But there is also a growing number of biotech firms in the area and George Mason University just this year opened a 50 million dollar research lab in Manassas

And, the future looks bright as over 20,000 jobs will be coming to Fort Belvoir and Quantico Marine Base.
