Federal Shifts & Regional Exposure
• Federal job and contract cuts, along with the recent shutdown, are already slowing
regional growth and will continue to weigh on the outlook.
• Tariff pressures are starting to appear in prices, though the full impact will likely take
more time to materialize.
• Higher defense spending, especially in shipbuilding, is likely to provide a boost to
the Hampton Roads economy.
• Net international migration has been the largest contributor of recent population
growth in both Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads.
• The economy is slowing but stable, though policy and economic uncertainty cloud
the horizon.
