Business Appreciation Week 2001

Designated as May 13-19 this year by Governor Gilmore, Business Appreciation Week is an opportunity for the Commonwealth and Chesterfield County to commemorate existing businesses and their invaluable contribution to the well being of the economy and the quality of life in our community. The theme of this year’s Business Appreciation Week is “Setting the Prosperity Standard.”

Business Appreciation Week, coordinated by the Virginia Department of Business Assistance, is a time when the entire economic development community gratefully acknowledges the benefits brought to the people of Virginia, and Chesterfield County, by the businesses that continue to operate here year after year. While much attention is given to incoming businesses and the positive impact they will have on a given area, it is important to also recognize the contributions made every day by existing businesses. It is these businesses, those who are already making Virginia and Chesterfield County a better place to live, that we honor during this weeklong celebration.
