Strong communities don’t happen by accident. They’re built by people who choose to get involved.

At Chesapeake Alliance, business leaders from across our city come together to share ideas, stay informed, and have a voice in the conversations shaping Chesapeake’s future. Whether it’s economic development, infrastructure, workforce challenges, housing, or quality of life, collaboration creates stronger outcomes for businesses and the community alike.

Membership is more than networking. It’s an opportunity to engage with local leaders, gain valuable insight, advocate for issues that matter, and help shape the future of the city we call home.

The Chesapeake Alliance recently welcomed members, city leaders, and guests for an engaging social and educational forum exploring Virginia’s evolving energy landscape.

Sponsored by Dominion Energy, the event featured energy industry veteran John Larson, whose 30-year career spans electric generation, transmission, alternative energy, public policy, and infrastructure development.

Attendees gained valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping Virginia’s energy future—from unprecedented demand growth and grid reliability to renewable energy, nuclear innovation, natural gas, and the impact of expanding data center demand.

Thank you to Dominion Energy for sponsoring this timely and informative discussion, and to John Larson for sharing his expertise and perspective with our members.

The Chesapeake Alliance brings together business owners and senior leaders committed to strengthening our region through informed dialogue and meaningful collaboration.

First impressions matter, especially when it comes to economic growth.

Gateway corridors like Western Branch do more than move traffic. They shape how Chesapeake is experienced by residents, businesses, and visitors. Strategic investment in infrastructure and connectivity can strengthen commercial activity, support local business, and reinforce the city’s overall competitiveness.

Well-planned gateway corridors are an important part of how communities attract investment and create long-term opportunity.

Chesapeake Square Mall represents a significant opportunity for thoughtful redevelopment in the Western Branch borough of Chesapeake.

As retail continues to evolve, reimagining these areas into well-planned, mixed-use environments can support business growth, strengthen local investment, and enhance quality of life. At the same time, it is critical that redevelopment is approached strategically, with the right infrastructure, connectivity, and long-term vision in place.

Successful projects must balance economic opportunity with community impact, ensuring development supports existing neighborhoods, local businesses, and future growth.
