During the week of May 23, 2022 our Director Sherry Spring participated in a Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) marketing event. The event was a Business Investment Call Trip to 3-cities in Indiana. Representing the VEDP was Meghan Welch, Managing Director, Technologies & Services, Business Investment. Another ally on the trip was Charlotte Mullins from, Bristol, VA. During the week long trip, the 3-women traveled the state and met with 9-businesses executives to present the benefits of locating in Virginia, their respective communities and regions. The appointments were pre-set by the VEDP’s Call Center based on their interest in learning more about the business climate both locally and on the state level. Thank you for representing Gloucester, Sherry!
