Federal contractors in the I-95 / I-66 corridor (Booz Allen Hamilton, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed) produce standardized stubs that all NoVA property managers recognize. Hampton Roads area (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake) is anchored by Naval Station Norfolk and Newport News Shipbuilding — military LES paystubs and shipyard institutional stubs are widely recognized.
