Major National Charity Is Moving To Arlington

ARLINGTON, VA -- Arlington has landed yet another major headquarters -- this time, it's nonprofit March of Dimes, which will be moving to Crystal City and bringing about 80 jobs from their current headquarters in New York.

Arlington County announced the move Monday morning in a statement, noting that the organization will take over 28,000 square feet of office space at 1550 Crystal Drive, just a month after Amazon announced it had chosen the neighborhood to host its second headquarters.

The nonprofit organization said in a statement that their mission is to "support research, lead programs, and provide education and advocacy so that every family can have the best possible start."

Arlington County will provide a $150,000 grant, and the move is expected to generate net taxes of $1.1 million over the next decade, the county says.
