WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE

The decisions in front of Reston management teams.

Government contractors face federal budget pressure, shifting agency priorities and stricter procurement and cybersecurity requirements, all of which affect margin and growth. Competition for cleared engineers and program managers is intense, and many contractors are consolidating through acquisitions. Older office parks along the Dulles Toll Road face vacancy as tenants move into newer buildings near Metro.
