My suggestions would be the Fredericksburg area, which is conveniently half way in between both as well as the Greater Richmond area.The Fredericksburg area offers the appeal of being conveniently half way between DC and Richmond and has a thriving business/industrial sector including Geico, DHL, McKesson, idX, greenchip, and First Line Technologies along with being home to the University of Mary Washington and Mary Washington Health Care.The Greater Richmond area offers the appeal of being the State Capital, has a strong business/industrial/financial sector including Altria, GE, Meta, Lego, CapitalOne, Carmax, and Brinks to name just a few of the big players.
