Last November, the Virginia Chamber of Commerce launched Blueprint Virginia, a year long initiative to develop a strategic plan that will improve Virginia’s competitive position in the global economy and ensure a prosperous and sustainable future. Virginia Chamber President and CEO Barry DuVal has been traveling across the Commonwealth in recent months to gain valuable stakeholder input on regional economic priorities. Nearly 2,000 business and regional leaders have participated in the public hearings to discuss Virginia’s economic future and investment goals.
