Alexandria, VA – Did you know that The Chamber ALX serves as a voice and advocate for Chamber Members and the larger business community at the local, state, and federal levels of government?
One of the ways the Chamber does this is through the Legislative Agenda, which is released each year. The Legislative Agenda is a document that concisely outlines the issues of most importance to the business community for the next 12 months and beyond.
The Chamber ALX is proud to release its 2025 Legislative Agenda last month. Its highlights include:
Economic Sustainability: Events over the last nine months have focused a bright light on the need for serious conversations about the future of Alexandria.
Comprehensive Business Support as businesses tackle the challenges and opportunities of the post-pandemic world, including:
- Office market
- Childcare
- Crime
- Flexibility and creativity with regulations
There’s also a focus on livability, and housing is at the top of that list. The Chamber knows there are no easy answers for the City or the region but is ready to develop real solutions to this issue.
Finally, recognizing the vital importance that schools play in economic development (everything from workforce to businesses wanting to locate in the City), a strong emphasis is placed on building the relationship between the school system and the business community.
