New Business Community Collaboration Series Supports Minority Business Engagement The Business Community Collaboration Series is a partnership among the York-James CityWilliamsburg NAACP, City of Williamsburg, York County, James City County, and the Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce to recognize, honor, and support minority-owned businesses in the Greater Williamsburg area. Senior staff, City Council members, Board of Supervisor representatives and members of the public gather monthly to recognize select businesses. Each honoree is presented with a certificate from the NAACP, the Chamber, and the appropriate locality and celebrated with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony. This opportunity allows leaders in our community to connect with our minority business owners and provide them readily available resources for growth.
