Thanks to David Ropp and the Chesapeake Alliance for hosting this morning’s breakfast meeting at the Chesapeake Conference Center with community leaders focused on the impact and opportunities created by the growth of data centers in our region.

Conversations like these help strengthen collaboration and position Coastal Virginia for continued economic growth and innovation.
