Suffolk's strong, growing economy is supported by a sound network of public services. A long-range Capital Improvements Plan also includes aggressive expansion and upgrade of utility services to those areas not currently served.

Residential and commercial consumers also have natural gas available; it's supplied by Commonwealth Natural Gas Corporation, and distributed by Virginia Natural Gas in the southern two-thirds of the City and Columbia Gas of Virginia in the northeastern portion of the City.
