I love Virginia.  As a small business owner, I see a gap between businesses and the community.  We need a better way of communicating and sharing resources.  The New Virginia Economy is a start in the right direction.  

We’ll introduce you to businesses and give you access to information that can help expand your career possibilities and your earning potential.  

Season 2 of the New Virginia Economy with Mike Hamlar starts August 7, 2017 at 6:27 and 6:59 pm on WSLS 10. We look forward to another great season talking about workforce development, economic impact and job creation in the Commonwealth of Virginia. #newvirginiaeconomy
