Legislative Spotlight: Blueprint Virginia 2035 The Patrick County Chamber of Commerce is proud to be a participating partner in Blueprint Virginia 2035, a statewide strategic plan designed to ensure Virginia remains the best state for business.

As we move toward this milestone, our advocacy efforts are focused on three primary areas that directly impact our local economy:

  • Workforce & Education: We are advocating for expanded funding in high-demand programs, such as nursing and skilled trades. Our local community college, P&H CC does a great job expanding programming.


  • Infrastructure & Connectivity: Ensuring Southern Virginia has the modern infrastructure required to attract new industry and support our existing business community. Expansion of Hwy 58 will help our business community.


  • Active Advocacy: Through programs like Leadership Patrick County in partnership with Reynold Homestead, we are taking local voices directly to Richmond to meet with legislators and shape the policy outcomes of the 2035 plan.


  • Hosted our Lunch & Learn on Employee Handbook and the new Workforce Labor Laws with Longwood Small Business Development Center



As the next Legislative session, the Chamber will be working to provide information regarding proposed new laws that will impact our business community.
