Community-Owned, Community-Led Initiative
OMDNA USA is built on the strength and vision of The Shore's own communities. Through a certified Community Development Entity, the entire 9-Plant Manufacturing Campus is owned and directed by local residents - from New Church to Cape Charles, Saxis, and Chincoteague Island. This community-owned model ensures that every major decision, from facility management to entrepreneurial selection, stays accountable to the people it serves. At the heart of the campus is an innovative Entrepreneurial Academy, which equips motivated individuals with practical training, management skills, and direct access to operating their own manufacturing plant.
Our model does not depend on outside interests. Instead, the campus thrives by channeling federal incentives, local talent, and transparent governance back into the region. Graduates leave with both the education and means to build a sustainable business, while investors and partners benefit from secure, merit-driven projects tied directly to local prosperity.
Empowering Entrepreneurial Growth
Unlock Sustainable Community Growth
Community-Owned
The OMDNA USA Manufacturing Campus is owned and managed by an executive board representing The Shore's communities. This structure guarantees transparency, long-term accountability, and keeps resources and decision-making power anchored within the local population. Economic benefits remain in the hands of residents, not outside interests.
Academy
Our Entrepreneurial Academy supports individuals from ambition through to ownership. Graduates receive a full package: practical training, hands-on mentorship, a new manufacturing plant with a ready team, and one year of operating capital, enabling each entrepreneur to launch and grow confidently from day one.
Investment
Strategic capital investors benefit directly through federal New Market Tax Credits and a negotiated cash return, all managed by our community-anchored CDE. Each investment supports local job creation, secures meaningful tax incentives, and contributes to measurable economic transformation in a federally-recognized opportunity zone.
Our Development Roadmap
Phase 2
The First Three Entrepreneurs
Phase 2 focuses on constructing the first three independent manufacturing plants on an accelerated timeline. Following a 9-month training program, three selected entrepreneurs will receive the keys to their own fully-staffed facilities to begin fulfilling customer contracts.
