“We are honored to welcome Amentum to Fairfax County and want to thank them for choosing Chantilly for their new headquarters,” said Victor Hoskins, president and CEO of Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA). “Our world-class network of mission-driven companies just grew even stronger, and together our business community will continue to innovate here and affect change globally.”

McKay. “Our long-term investment into making Fairfax County the top choice to locate a global business is bearing fruit, and I am thrilled that Amentum has chosen to take advantage of what we offer.”

Fairfax County Economic Development Authority worked with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to secure the project for Fairfax County and Virginia.

“Fairfax County offers the location, access to decision-makers, and talent pipeline that global providers like Amentum are seeking, and we are proud to welcome the company’s leadership and operations team to Virginia,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “Amentum joins the ranks of the Commonwealth’s diversified ecosystem of more than 800 corporate headquarters across a broad cross-section of industries.”
