NORTHROP CHOOSES VIRGINA FOR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS because “Virginia is a better place to do business. Forbes magazine rates the state as the most business-friendly in the nation. With a 6 percent corporate tax rate, it costs less to run a business in Virginia than either the District (9 percent) or Maryland (8.25 percent). Virginia's superior business rating is no fluke. It results from official policies that over the years have sent strong welcome signals to companies like Northrop and that contrast mightily with years of anti-business policies across the Potomac.”

“Bob’s for jobs” - no longer just a campaign slogan.
