The world’s next Global Internet Hub isn’t a city, but a megaregion:
The Richmond region and Hampton Roads

The world’s next Global Internet Hub isn’t a single city but rather an area from the Richmond region to Hampton Roads. Known as the I-64 Innovation Corridor, located just two hours south of Washington, D.C., this 8,000 square mile megaregion has a combined population of more than 3 million residents, placing it among the top 20 largest U.S. regions.
