welcome

Dear Reader: Greetings, and welcome to the City of Lynchburg and the Central Virginia region. You’ll find Lynchburg, home to more than 75,000 residents and a thriving business community in the midst of an MSA of more than 250,000 people, is a great place to live, work, and play!

Mayor Michael A. Gillette, Ph.D.

“Whether businesses are expanding their operations here or newly starting, the message is clear: Lynchburg is a business-friendly community!”

We are a growing community that believes strongly in investing in the future to ensure Lynchburg remains a healthy, vibrant, and sustainable city. In 2013, more than $82 million was spent on public infrastructure improvements including the replacement of aging water utility lines, street enhancements, installation of sidewalks, bike lanes, and other public facilities. Private investment in our community continues to grow, with more than $160 million in new capital projects undertaken last year. Lynchburg’s business community is flourishing, as evidenced by the substantial investments made by some of our longstanding major employers like AREVA and Hanwha Azdel. We welcomed several new businesses in 2013, including Porter’s Fabrications and Fresh Market, and have watched the development of a number of other retail sites. Whether businesses are expanding their operations here or newly starting, their message is clear: Lynchburg is a business-friendly community! Public investment in our future includes ongoing support for our school system. Since the first public school opened in 1871, Lynchburg City Schools have been recognized as leaders in education throughout Virginia and beyond. With the mission of “Every Child, by Name and By Need, Until Graduation,” our schools, coupled with six institutions of higher learning, reinforce our belief in lifelong learning, growth, and development. I encourage anyone considering relocation to choose Lynchburg, and come grow with us. To our current residents, thank you for making the city of Lynchburg the wonderful place it is to live, work, and play. Sincerely,

Michael A. Gillette, PhD Mayor

Historic buildings enhance a lively downtown shopping area. city of lynchburg

A great place to place YOUR future When you set out to build a life, or a business, you look for a place with a good foundation. Lynchburg, Virginia, is such a place. Lynchburg Life will help you see why.

gain and again as you talk to residents, you hear about the quality of life, and how friendly the people are. The natural beauty of the area provides an ideal setting as well as numerous opportunities for outdoor adventure. Its congenial climate affords the pleasures of four seasons without the inconveniences of extremes.

In greater Lynchburg, known as Virginia’s Region 2000 for the two thousand square miles encompassed by the City and its four neighboring counties, leaders have assembled a livable community with a diversified economy. Thoughtful decisions have put in place sound infrastructure, a business-friendly climate, and strong public-private partnerships. Savvy public investments have led to private investments, particularly in a rapidly revitalizing downtown, and in the Center for Advanced Engineering and Research. “This area has gotten really good at recognizing we all need to work together,” observes Elizabeth Narhood, managing director of the Future Focus Foundation. Effective collaboration has resulted in Forbes magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and other respected national sources, recognizing Lynchburg in many lists of “Best” and “Top” cities in the country. In addition to having many excellent educational institutions from pre-K through universities, Lynchburg pairs an outstanding health care system with a communi-

ty-wide emphasis on healthy living. While everywhere has history, Lynchburg has done a wonderful job of preserving and presenting its heritage. The region also boasts a wealth of cultural offerings, many of a caliber expected only in larger metro areas. Collectively Lynchburg’s investments of resources, creativity, time, and thought come together to make Lynchburg an appealing, thriving place, where you can afford to base a great life, thanks to a cost of living consistently well below the national average.

Effective collaboration has resulted in Forbes magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and other respected national sources, recognizing Lynchburg in many lists of “Best” and “Top” cities in the country. LYNCHBURGCHAMBER.ORG LYNCHBURG LIFE 2014

Infrastructure inprovements are transforming neighborhoods all over the city.

12 LYNCHBURG LIFE 2014 LYNCHBURGCHAMBER.ORG

The Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proactive teamwork with the City of Lynchburg, Region 2000 Partnership, business leaders, and legislators, along with a very pro-business environment, has kept this region resilient through challenging economic times. Major improvements in roads and infrastructure, outlined in the Lynchburg Region Transportation Advocacy Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yearly priorities, are fulfilling a master plan which gives the community streets suited for cyclists and pedestrians and improves roadway capacity and safety. LYNCHBURGCHAMBER.ORG LYNCHBURG LIFE 2014 13

our future

—Tom Martin, Lynchburg City Planner

hese road improvement plans are significant, long-term economic drivers for the entire region. In speaking about the Chamber’s program of work in transportation, VDOT District Administrator Chris Winstead conveyed his appreciation of these efforts. “I am impressed by how collaboratively this region operates. When business and education leaders, city and county officials, and legislators speak with a unified voice it better positions a region to compete and achieve collective goals.” Downtown revitalization, helped by the designation as a state historic district and as an arts and cultural district, efforts to encourage public art, and landscaping for storm water control are also paying off. Private investment has followed public ones. Multi-million dollar expansion and renovation projects across the area will ultimately translate into new jobs, more tax revenue, new retail and services to support the growth, and increased student, resident and visitor spending. 14 LYNCHBURG LIFE 2014 LYNCHBURGCHAMBER.ORG

All this activity has prompted people to choose to move to Lynchburg, evidenced by its 18 percent population growth between 2000 and 2013. Some of the many investments being made in and around Lynchburg include: AREVA plans to pour $26.3 million into its Operational Center for Excellence for Nuclear Products and Services in North America in Lynchburg and Campbell County. Highly advanced machinery and equipment will enhance R&D capabilities and elevate its competitiveness in advanced manufacturing. Babcock & Wilcox’s Nuclear Operations Group won $510 million in US defense contracts to make components such as nuclear power systems for submarines and aircraft carriers. The Department of Energy allocated $20.5 million more for B&W’s small nuclear reactor project, mPower, after a previous $79 million installment in April 2013. B&W will invest more than $16 million in Bedford County to add a fourth area location. Banker Steel added a 40,000 square foot building and 50 employees to accommo-

Greif: $45 million in upgrades at its Amherst County plant will significantly reduce the energy used to make paper products.

capacity 147% and add space for teaching humane concepts and pet obedience training, and hosting community events.

Lakeside Crossing, a new 66,445 squarefoot shopping center anchored by Fresh Market, opened in September 2013. Liberty University has campus projects under way totaling $500 million, including infrastructure enhancements and six 9-story residence halls, new athletic facilities, and a $40 million Center for Medical and Health Sciences. The Lynchburg Humane Society’s new Education and Adoption Center, a $4.8 million building on 9.6 acres, will increase shelter

Academy of Music Theatre: While thousands of historic theaters across the US have been lost, Lynchburg’s 1905 theater has been saved and stabilized, and is slated for historically accurate restoration. Lynchburg College is spending $12 million to expand its student center, with more meeting space, improved dining facilities, a multicultural center, veterans lounge, and fitness rooms. The Miller Center, the city’s home for Parks & Recreation, Nature Zone, class-

rooms, theater space, and a neighborhood center, is undergoing a $5 million renovation, with a January 2015 anticipated opening. Virginia Episcopal School is set to begin an $8.2 million renovation of the gymnasium into a state-of-the-art fine arts center and leadership center. The Kirkley Hotel is undergoing an extensive renovation to lift its upscale appeal. A 78-room Microtel hotel broke ground in late 2013, a 100-room Hampton Inn and Suites is being built near the airport and a 96-room Comfort Inn and Suites is also planned near the aiport. Fresh Market opened last year in a new shopping center on the west side of the city.

“We’re on a journey of achieving the vision—a great place to live, work and play.”

Gleaning For The World plans a $1.9 million expansion of warehouse, sorting areas, offices, and equipment to double its capacity to process supplies for people suffering from natural disasters, war, and poverty. Eight to ten new staff positions are also projected.

LaShonda & Josh Delivuk

Owners, Life Focus Pictures

From near Petersburg, Virginia, LaShonda Delivuk came to visit friends at Liberty University, liked it, and stayed to major in theater performance and production. Through a mutual friend she met Josh Delivuk, from Beaver Falls, PA, who was attracted to her and to Lynchburg. After working for Liberty facilitating large weekly convocations featuring big name guest speakers, LaShonda joined Josh in launching Life Focus Pictures. In bringing quality video to businesses and organizations in the area, they have gained some notable clients. Upon seeing the value of good video for advertising, websites, and training, several now incorporate the Delivuks’ services into their marketing plans. “Lynchburg’s economy seems padded from the peaks and valleys of the national economy,” observes Josh. The area is so diverse, it offers producers both rural and downtown locations, including the nearby Blue Ridge, and a lot of films are being made here. “We have found the culture of business here to be really open, with a lot of support organizations bent on economic development.” LaShonda sees that unified focus as noteworthy. The Delivuks note that the Lynchburg Regional Chamber of Commerce has been “a huge help,” and are pleased the organization is now a client. “I think the biggest compliment anyone can give you is to trust you with their business.”

Lynchburg’s Community Market is a downtown fixture.

“Just the right blend of fine and funky,” is how a Washington Post travel writer described Lynchburg’s offbeat eating and shopping establishments. Along with artisan breads and chocolates, fresh produce, and local creations at The Community Market, you’ll find a treasure trove of antique shops and boutiques, owner-operated and ethnic restaurants, quirky coffee houses and bars. Together with big brand stores and restaurants, and major shopping centers, they afford a wonderful selection of convenient shopping and dining. Within an hour’s drive, residents enjoy Smith Mountain Lake, Wintergreen Ski Resort, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The historic Homestead and Greenbrier Resorts are just over two hours away. Richmond; Washington, DC; Baltimore; Winston-Salem; and Raleigh/Durham/ Chapel Hill, NC, are reached in two to three hours, and spectacular beaches in a couple hours more.

age healthy lifestyles, decrease traffic and provide energy-saving transit services, Lynchburg’s comprehensive plan through 2030 is promoting a “village concept,” with mixed-use developments friendly to pedestrians and cyclists. For a peaceful rural retreat, drive a mere 15 minutes out of the city. Just beyond the Lynchburg city limits, Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and third U.S. president, built an octagonal masterpiece called Poplar Forest on an estate in Bedford County. The Forest area now attracts homebuyers seeking the pleasures of country living, while still permitting quick access to city workplaces, shopping, and cultural events. (Lynchburg area residents benefit from one of the shortest commute times in the state.) Wonderful small towns to call home are found throughout the counties surrounding Lynchburg, along with historic landmarks, orchards and wineries, state parks and forests, including vacation spots like Smith Mountain Lake. Whether you yearn for breathtaking mountain vistas, white picket fences, cobblestone streets, or a lakeside retreat, you’re sure to find it here. * Sperling’s BestPlaces.net

onfirming that success, Lynchburg climbed to Number 65 on Forbes’ 2013 list of “Best Small Places for Business and Careers.” Situated in what is consistently one of the most businessfriendly states, Lynchburg has effectively diversified its economic base. Virginia topped Forbes’ 2013 list of best states for business, and tied for fifth place in CNBC’s 2013 look at 51 measures of competitiveness. A highly skilled workforce paired with a favorable corporate tax structure and low property taxes draws Fortune 500 companies, global enterprises, and entrepreneurial endeavors to the area.

“Opportunity is great here for new businesses,” advises Kenneth Cobbs, owner of Triple C Pizza, which operates 12 Domino’s Pizza franchises in Lynchburg and the surrounding region. Starting with one Domino’s in Rustburg in 2003, Cobbs has found much expansion potential, and thinks the time is prime for the area. While many communities have suffered the loss of a single large employer, Lynchburg is unique, having diversified with a sizable cluster of smaller, mid-size businesses that collectively provide a lot of jobs. Cobbs sees plenty of entry-level opportunities and room for career growth.

As a business owner, Cobbs has been pleased with the quality of employees. Coming to the area from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, he observes that Lynchburg differs from other college towns in that a high percentage of graduates choose to stay and launch their careers. This pays off for his business with low employee turnover. “Kids who start as sophomores often remain with us even when they get a full-time job after graduating.” Calling the area “a great place to raise a family,” with a cost of living that is extremely affordable, Cobbs settled with his wife and four children on the edge of Lynchburg in Forest. They attend many local sporting events and community festivals. As a business partner with Liberty University’s Flames, he has watched the NCAA Division 1 football team build talent. “They now bring in big name teams to play, providing great entertainment.”

“My search ended when I came to Lynchburg,” recalls neuroscientist Dr. Dilan Ellegala. He looked countrywide for a non-academic setting with a system large enough to have the financial resources and commitment to build an innovative neurosciences institute, yet small enough for physicians to have direct access to leadership. Ellegala found that combination in Lynchburg.

E also found a physician community that is “better than anywhere in the country,” in terms of quality and outstanding training. With one of those outstanding doctors, Ellegala performed groundbreaking surgery in 2013 at Centra Lynchburg General Hospital, “a procedure done in only a handful of operating rooms in the world.” LYNCHBURGCHAMBER.ORG LYNCHBURG LIFE 2014 37

With 6,500 employees including a medical staff of 490, the system serves patients from Bedford to Farmville and Nelson County to Danville. Additional area physician practices range from family and walk-in care to comprehensive orthopedics, multi-specialty eye care centers, and orthodontic and periodontal services. Providers of integrative medicine and alternative care round out the region’s physician options.

The Johnson Health Center’s locations in Lynchburg and Amherst provide comprehensive outpatient services for adults and pediatric patients regardless of ability to pay. The James River Dental Clinic in Madison Heights treats patients in Lynchburg and adjacent counties. Multiple nursing homes care for patients as well. Westminster-Canterbury Lynchburg and Central Virginia Training Center earned five-star ratings on US News & World Report’s Best Nursing Homes list. In 2013 Lynchburg Health and Rehabilitation Center put in a state-of-the-art LifeWorks Therapy gym.

Distance-learning programs also make degrees from the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion University, Liberty University, and Averett University available.

Education that creates opportunities.

Jennifer Lovett 2013 Lynchburg Teacher-of-the-Year Lynchburg’s 2013 Teacher-of-the-Year, Jennifer Lovett, heard favorable reports about Liberty University but thought it too far from her New Jersey home. Until she visited and discovered what a nice place the area was. She ended up studying elementary education at Liberty. After graduating in 2002 Lovett taught three years in New Jersey, but Lynchburg drew her back. While earning a master’s degree at Liberty, she taught 1st grade at a private school. Then Lovett joined Lynchburg City Schools (LCS) in 2008 as a reading specialist at Linkhorne Elementary, a school with about 400 students. As a reading specialist, Lovett emphasizes the importance of reading, and partners with another teacher in a summer program that includes visiting children at their homes, giving them books, and encouraging them to read during the summer.

Lynchburg City Schools have proven a good place “to grow in my profession,” she notes, crediting her colleagues and the system’s leadership, including a “phenomenal” principal. “There’s an attitude that our system is good, but we want to be great.” Lovett likes being a part of a good system that is doing something significant and says LCS invests in its teachers, giving them a lot of opportunity to learn and develop. That development is evident in Lovett’s view of her role. “Teaching is taking ownership for the individual child,” says Lovett, “and caring deeply as a parent would, providing guidance as a counselor would, preparing and carrying out a game plan as a coach would, encouraging and motivating as a cheerleader would, and organizing and directing as a manager would; doing it all from a foundation of genuine affection for each child and his or her total well being.” Lovett finds the dynamics of the community,

with its many colleges, another positive for the schools, and enjoys both her students and working with their families. “It’s such a nice community—I love that.” She lives just outside the city in Campbell County, but loves going downtown to the YMCA, the Community Market, and many shops and restaurants. Citing the good mix of downtown plus lots of parks, and trails, and sporting events at colleges in the area, she finds plenty to do.

An educated workforce is key to drawing and maintaining high-paying jobs. Lynchburg boasts more residents with bachelor’s degrees (30.1%) and graduate degrees (16.59%) than the U.S. average. Strong business-education partnerships in the region build specific skill sets to help retain skilled workers in the community. To encourage more women to enter engineering fields, nearby Sweet Briar College is one of only two women’s colleges in the country offering an engineering degree.

At James River, your child will be an engineer, scientist, problem-solver, philosopher, global explorer, author, musician, artist, urban farmer, and athlete. Anything is possible. On any given day, students design buildings, delve into Shakespeare, explore science and technology, give back to the community, cultivate the greenhouse, embrace good health, and are friends, teammates, mentors, scholars and leaders. They learn to think creatively, critically and independently and they build strong character—preparing for their very bright futures. Discover what a school should be. Schedule your visit today!

School athletic and arts programs contribute greatly to the life of the community. Attesting to the wealth of extra-curricular activities, many of which are available to home-schooling families, the region has produced its fair share of professional actors and athletes.

For more information, please call Kirstin McHenry Director of Enrollment 434.455.4763

Supplementing the school day are programs like Leadership Lynchburg’s Young Entrepreneurs Academy, where sixth through twelfth graders learn from successful entrepreneurs, develop their own business plans, and pitch their ideas to investors.

The cultural assets that Lynchburg and the surrounding communities have invested in are paying significant dividends for citizens and visitors. An important part of downtown revitalization has been designation of the James River Arts and Cultural District. It has fostered endeavors such as Riverviews Artspace, a vibrant enclave of artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housing and studios, with exhibition and performance spaces.

Endstation Theatre performs its summer repertoire at various outdoor locations in the area.

Each first Friday, art enthusiasts gather at pop-up galleries—this one at a downtown bike shop.

nother downtown center of performing and visual arts is The Academy of Fine Arts, housed in an historic venue being restored with community support. The city’s Miller Center will soon have a renovated 300-seat theater. Citizens devote time and energy as well as money to cultural pursuits through organizations like the Lynchburg Art Club, the James River Council for the Arts and Humanities, the Jefferson Choral Society, and Dance Theatre of Lynchburg. Exhibits and programs at Amazement Square Children’s Museum encourage exploration of the arts and humanities, culture, science, and technology. The CityArts Program engages residents in creating public art,

such as the LynchBug sculpture, a tromp l’oeil mural, and a 4,800 square foot mosaic mural. Check any of several online arts guides and you’ll be struck by the breadth of local cultural choices. These calendars are filled with exhibits, symphony, opera, chamber music, dance, and theater seasons, faculty and guest artist performances, student recitals and productions at the area’s many colleges and schools. Local venues and festivals present nationally-known touring performers and resident talent in every genre from roots music and bluegrass, to jazz and rock and roll. On the First Friday of each month, a

free trolley makes a circuit of downtown galleries and arts organizations for exhibit openings and performances. Films from old favorites to cutting edge are shown at Riverviews Artspace. RiverFlicks offers free family-friendly fare outdoors each summer, and the 14-screen Regal Theater screens current movies. Temporary and permanent exhibits at college and community art and history museums give still more options for inspiration and learning. Cultural options also flourish outside the city. In Bedford County, the Bowers Center provides visual and performing arts classes; the Artisans Center of Virginia anchors the Bedford Artisans Trail, a showcase of handcrafted creations;

Amazement Square, The Rightmire Children’s Museum, is one of the top hands-on museums in the country as well as a symbol of downtown revitalization. Its home, an abandoned Civil War–era warehouse, has been transformed into four floors of interactive, multi-disciplinary exhibits. Amazement Square has garnered three Museums for America Awards and an International Universal Design for Learning Award from the Association of Children’s Museums and Very Special Arts (an affiliate of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts). In 2013 Amazement Square was one of 33 finalists for a National Medal out of more than 17,500 museums across the nation. From its first year open, Amazement Square has attracted significantly more visitors than projected. As enhancement of the neighborhood continues; people are more comfortable coming downtown. Attendance now averages 90,000 visitors a year. Combined with activities arising from partnerships with the school systems in Lynchburg and surrounding counties, the museum has reached capacity. An 18,000 square-foot expansion is set to begin in late 2014 to accommodate school tours, workshops, special activities, and significant traveling exhibitions. Members of Congress recently heard about Amazement Square’s new exhibit “Balanced: Healthy Mind and Body,” and associated programming that will be free to all schools, as an example of what museums are doing to serve their communities. The first portion of the exhibit, a toddler gallery, opens spring 2014, followed by the rest opening in September.

history

Lynchburg and its surrounding region have invested in preserving and presenting the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past for history buffs, researchers and visitors.

ince John Lynch launched a ferry service across the James River in 1757, the community has cultivated appreciation for its historic identity. To revitalize its downtown, Lynchburg has focused on reviving interest in its waterfront and restoring historic landmarks.

The annual James River Batteau Festival starts in Lynchburg and, over the course of seven days, follows the replica eighteenthcentury batteaux almost to Richmond.

The Civil War came to Lynchburg in a big way in 1864. Seen as key to supplies for Robert E. Lee’s Confederate army, the city and its transportation facilities were targeted for destruction by Union forces under General David Hunter. However, with help from Confederate General Jubal Early, Lynchburgers outwitted them in The Battle of Lynchburg.

Gen. Ulysses S. Grant had written to Hunter, “It would be of great value to us to get possession of Lynchburg for a single day.” With more than 18,000 troops Hunter approached the city, which was defended by only 600 troops and 1,300 convalescents from the city’s hospitals. General Early and his forces, sent by General Lee to save the city, began arriving by rail June 17th. Knowing they were outnumbered, Early had empty trains move back and forth across the James River bridges. Throughout the night cheering citizens gathered at the station, giving the impression that reinforcements were steadily arriving. Sporadic fighting ensued. Doubting his strength and concerned about a lack of supplies, Hunter withdrew, retreating with Early in pursuit. Lynchburg was saved and continued to serve the Confederacy until the end of the War.

Help commemorate the 150th anniversary of that Battle June 17-18, when an array of free activities will take place on the grounds of Historic Sandusky, which played a pivotal role. The museum’s Visitor Center will offer frequent showings of a film about the Battle of Lynchburg as well as presentations by local historians. Virginia’s Civil War Historymobile will be on-site providing various perspectives on the war, and re-enactors will bring events of the famed conflict to life. Or trace the events of the battle on your own, guided by an audio driving tour on a seven-mile journey to eight Civil War sites, including Sandusky, Fort Early, the Miller-Knight hospital building, Spring Hill Cemetery and Old City Cemetery.

From transportation to workforce, the LRCC is in the forefront of initiatives that support businesses and improve the quality of life in Central Virginia. Nearly 850 businesses, professionals, and organizations, located in Lynchburg and the four surrounding counties, belong to the LRCC. 74 LYNCHBURG LIFE 2014 LYNCHBURGCHAMBER.ORG

Looking Ahead

Economic Vitality:

As a regional chamber with members from each of the five localities in our MSA, the Chamber’s active Board of Directors, Committees and Task Forces, have created priorities that will move our region forward. Areas of emphasis are The Chamber has strong business advocacy relationships with area legislators on issues impacting our region.

• competitive workforce • intellectual capital • connectivity • entrepreneurship and innovation • pro-business climate • quality of life and place

Partnership with regional economic development leaders is underway through Biz Forward, an effort designed to support the success of businesses and recognize businesses for their commitment to the area as well as develop a deeper understanding of business opportunities and impediments to growth for the region. The Chamber is also spearheading efforts to move the Blueprint VA statewide strategic plan initiatives forward on a regional level with an emphasis on economic development, education and workforce development, transportation and manufacturing.

Education and Workforce Development: Chamber’s Role in Training Leaders and Mentoring Our Youth The National award-winning Leadership Lynchburg has a long history of developing effective leaders in the region. The program recently underwent massive restructuring to focus on its strength of building, nurturing, and retaining Central Virginia leaders, with more than 1,500 alumni, many of whom have gone on to serve in prominent positions at the local and state level. The nine-month Flagship program attracts emerging leaders from area corporations, nonprofits, government offices, and small businesses. Interactive sessions offer team building, conflict resolution, public speaking, and leadership skills, while additional offerings such as the Executive Forum and One Days provide lifelong learning for community leaders and the continuation of Leadership Lynchburg program focuses on its strength of building, nurturing and retaining Central Virginia leaders.

development for those who have completed the Flagship program. Building our future workforce has to start as early as middle school and the Leadership Lynchburg program has taken on the responsibility of reaching out to our youth by participating in a national youth entrepreneurship program called YEA! (Young Entrepreneurs Academy). The program, now in its second year, is managed by former Leadership Lynchburg alumnus Anthony Andrews. It transforms middle and high school students into real, confident entrepreneurs and takes students in grades six through twelve through the process of starting and running real businesses that they own.

The Chamber also supports the Partners in Education program that pairs businesses, organizations and institutions serving the community with Lynchburg City Schools to enhance educational opportunities for all children.

Transportation The Chamber’s proactive teamwork through its Lynchburg Region Transportation Advocacy Group is fulfilling its goals of improving area streets and roads in its infrastructure, which will make significant improvements to the entire region. Continued efforts to ensure that travel along US29 is safe and accessible, and that the Western US Bypass is built to improve the travel for businesses that use that corridor in our region, remain a top priority.

Manufacturing remains a top sector of the regional economy. To help our industrial and manufacturing members, the Chamber staffs the Central Virginia Industries Council (CVIC), which provides high quality information, resources, training and services. To gain more control over the cost of providing healthcare benefits to employees, the CVIC and Centra Medical Group are partnering to create the CVIC Care Center, offering urgent care and other healthcare services exclusively to CVIC members. This innovative approach is aimed to help move our community toward accountable care, and the Clinic is slated to open in early 2015.

Public Policy The strong advocacy efforts of the Chamber will continue as they ensure awareness in our region of state and federal policies impacting our business community, as well as working with policy makers and elected officials on the local, state and federal level to implement pro-business policies.

Investing in Lynchburg:

Anthony Andrews Owner, Twenty23 Andrews, a Leadership Lynchburg alumnus, gives back by working with students in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy.

Firefighter/entrepreneur Anthony Andrews is a Lynchburg native who appreciates the “small town with a big-city feel.” In 2011 he and his wife completed the Chamber’s Leadership Lynchburg program, which he reports gave him time management skills and public speaking confidence, and taught him about building relationships. One of those relationships resulted in Andrews being asked to volunteer as program manager for a new initiative, Virginia’s first Young Entrepreneurs Academy, launched in 2012. The national program teaches eleven- to eighteen-year-olds about entrepreneurship and the foundations of starting a business. “All the information about starting a business can be overwhelming,” Andrews observes. “This program condenses it into thirty weeks of classes,” once a week after school, with field trips and guest speakers.

t r a n s p o r tat i o n

To encourage his twenty-four students, Andrews developed his own business idea, doing all the assignments along with them. That exercise resulted in Twenty23, a men’s haberdashery company that started with making custom bow ties. His products are now featured in a downtown shop, Pastiche at Main. Andrews is enthusiastic about the city’s efforts to restore downtown buildings into exciting living spaces as well as the abundance of family-oriented activities to be found in Lynchburg. The Andrews are raising their children in his grandmother’s former home in the city, a block from his fire station and two blocks from Elizabeth’s Early Learning Center where he helps as a teacher’s aide. The street number, 2023, is the source of his company’s name.

Air travel No matter where you’re headed, you can get there easily from the Lynchburg Regional Airport, which provides convenient connections and ticketing in conjunction with US Airways Express. Lynchburg passengers enjoy competitive airfares with US Airways Express service on 50-seat jets and large turbo-props. Conveniently scheduled daily flights to US Airways’ largest hub, in Charlotte, NC, give access to more than 600 daily departures and connections to over 125 non-stop destinations. The merger of US Airways and American Airlines will create the world’s largest airline, offering passengers access to expanded worldwide networks for more travel choices and service options.

Over the past two years, the airport has completed more than $7 million in projects to increase the operational efficiency and safety of the airfield and its facilities. In 2013 it embarked upon another $5 million federal- and state-funded improvement program.

Several years ago major renovations transformed Lynchburg’s historic 1912 Kemper Street train station into a destination for travelers and history buffs. Amtrak’s Crescent passes through the station twice a day en route to New York and New Orleans, and the Northeast Regional transports passengers to D.C., Philly, New York, and Boston.The Lynchburg Regional Chamber’s Committee to Advance the TransDominion Express (TDX) successfully advocated for this service, which business and pleasure travelers alike hop for quick trips to DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Now on the agenda is the ambitious TransDominion Express passenger-rail service. The TDX would cross the Commonwealth of Virginia on existing tracks using modern “European-style” rail cars for maximum safety and comfort. Lynchburg is the natural hub for the envisioned fast, deluxe service, from Washington, DC, to Bristol in southwestern Virginia. It would also serve Richmond. Along with other passenger-rail and freight-rail advocates in Virginia, the Lynchburg Regional Chamber of Commerce is actively supporting the TDX project, which it sees as part of a renaissance of rail in America.
