Capital One Receives 2000 Large Business Award
Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors established a Business Appreciation and Recognition Award to recognize existing businesses within the county that contribute to the county’s economy and its citizens. The Board has awarded Capital One as the recipient of Chesterfield County’s 2000 Large Business Appreciation Award (awarded in late December).
Capital One is located in River’s Bend Center and will be doubling its current employment from 1,000 to 2,000 over the next two to three years. A 158,000 square foot building will be constructed in River’s Bend to accommodate the additional workforce. It is anticipated that the building will be completed mid-2001.
Capital One initiated an alliance with the Chesterfield County Public Schools and John Tyler Community College in order to introduce and preliminarily train students in the customer relations management field. Its commitment included funding for equipping a training lab located at the Chesterfield Technical Center and an ongoing monetary commitment to provide a teaching staff for the lab.
Congratulations to Capital One!
