Mason Enterprise Center – MEC Fairfax

Mason Enterprise Center
The Mason Enterprise Center (MEC) is Fairfax City’s own business incubator, a cooperative venture in economic development that supports the startup of new businesses by providing small office space and shared-office services such as a receptionist, secretarial services, a reception area, conference rooms and office equipment facilities.
This means the MEC offers a valuable opportunity to start-ups and entrepreneurs on behalf of Fairfax City by helping to reduce overhead costs during the critical first few years of operation.
Upon a business’s graduation and relocation to their own office space in the City, the new business is eligible for a $15,000 grant from the Fairfax City EDA to further smooth their growing pains.
The MEC has a strong track record: Over the program’s first 15 years, nearly half of all MEC graduate startups successfully moved into their own space in Fairfax City.
