Chesapeake's Economic Development, Conference Center and Human Resources department will be partnering a sponsorship for the 2nd Annual Virginia's Black Expo.

The Expo, hosted by Thomas McCants Media, Inc. is designed to spur economic development and expose the community to African-American owned business. Franchising opportunities and access to capital is the focus of this year's Expo.

"It was an honor to participate in Virginia's first Black Expo in 2005. Being a part of this event was a great experience for the City of Chesapeake". "We look forward to continuing our support of the Expo as it becomes one of Virginia's premier resources for promoting new and existing African-American owned businesses."
- Warren D. Harris (Director, Chesapeake Economic Development)
