The Washington Redskins are bringing their summer training camp facility to the City of Richmond. In this exciting move to an area located within walking distance of Jackson Ward, the Skins will be posted up behind the Science Museum of Virginia.

Recent data suggests that the Redskins support 1,832 jobs in the state, directly and indirectly. The team generates nearly $200 million in economic activity in Virginia. Expansion of the training facility is estimated to support 393 jobs during construction, while generating $52.8 million in total economic activity.
