Cape Charles Sustainable Technology Industrial Park (STIP), located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, is an eco-industrial park that seeks to maximize efficient use of energy and resources while eliminating waste and pollution. The Park is located in Virginia Enterprise Zone which makes companies locating there eligible for significant state financial incentives.

A German wind energy company, proVENTO International, is planning to locate its U.S. headquarters in the Park. The company will also install six 1.3-megawatt wind turbines near the site, creating enough wind energy to power more than 3,000 homes. The proposed wind farm will be the first utility-scale wind project to be installed in Virginia and will create 25 new jobs in Cape Charles. Solar Building Systems, a PV manufacturer, is already located in the Cape Charles STIP.
