NOVEMBER: On the last day for 2021 MLCP class, November 10, the participants, including the class of 2022, dove into a roundtable discussion about maritime innovation, led by Nancy Grden, Executive Director of Strome Entrepreneurial Center at Old Dominion University. What issues were going on in the maritime industries that need innovative solutions? What resources are available? In the afternoon, the group visited Colonna’s Shipyard, learning from Vance Hull, Director of Business Development, about the company’s history, services, and the components of working in the shipbuilding industry. The experience included a tour through the steel workshop and the rest of the shipyard. DECEMBER: On December 9, Century Express hosted the MLCP for an engaging discussion around workforce development issues and resources. The speakers included Steve Cook, Chief Innovations Officer of the Hampton Roads Workforce Council, Jerry Cronin, Director of the OpenSeas Tech hub at Old Dominion University, Todd Estes, Executive Director of the Community College Workforce Collaboration, and Ed O’Callaghan, President and CEO, of Audax Transportation/Century Express. O’ Callahan followed up the panel discussion by sharing the history of Audax Transportation, and insight into what goes into running a trucking company.

Nancy Grden discussed maritime innovation.
MLCP visited Century Express to learn the details of port drayage and workforce development challenges related to trucking and the port.
JAMES RIVER PARTNERSHIP NEWPORTS NEWS | The 24th Annual James River Partnership Meeting was held in early December, for maritime, government, military and business individuals to discuss the importance of stewardship on the James River. As a central vein of transportation for many types of cargoes, several commercially relevant organizations in the Hampton Roads area are committed to the upkeep of this river – as it is paramount to keeping industry flowing on its waters. The partnership’s biggest accomplishment has been to achieve continual federal funding for maintenance dredging, condition surveys and other projects for improvement of the river. Since founding the James River Partnership several decades ago, many businesses continue to be a champion for it in commercial, environmental and recreational aspects.
VIRGINIA’S COASTAL RESILIENCE MASTER PLAN HAMPTON | On December 7, Governor Ralph Northam released the Virginia Coastal Resilience Master Plan which addresses the threat of rising sea levels and increased storm flooding along Virginia’s coastal areas. 2,000 stakeholders contributed to the design of the plan, identifying hazards and the impacts of future scenarios on coastal community resources, and manmade and natural infrastructure. “We must acknowledge that climate change is permanently altering the physical limits of our coastal lands,” said Governor Northam. “The only way we can adapt and maintain our thriving communities is with thoughtful planning, reliance on science, and a willingness to make tough decisions. This Master Plan will guide decisions by the Commonwealth and our local government partners.” The Master Plan concluded that between 2020 and 2080: h the number of residents living in homes exposed to extreme
coastal flooding is projected to grow from approximately 360,000 to 943,000, an increase of 160%;
h the number of residential, public, and commercial buildings
exposed to an extreme coastal flood is projected to increase by almost 150%, from 140,000 to 340,000, while annualized flood damages increase by 1,300% from $0.4 to $5.1 billion;
h the number of miles of roadways exposed to chronic coastal
flooding is projected to increase from 1,000 to nearly 3,800 miles, an increase of nearly 280%; and
4
h an estimated 170,000 acres, or 89%, of existing tidal
wetlands and 3,800 acres, or 38%, of existing dunes and beaches may be permanently inundated, effectively lost to open water.
The next phase of the Master Plan is anticipated by 2024 and will aim to address recommendations of a Technical Advisory Committee to broaden the analysis of natural hazards by including rainfall-driven, riverine, and compound flooding, expand and improve the inventory of resilience projects. “VMA member businesses have vital waterfront facilities and operations which depend on reliable transportation infrastructure,” said VMA Executive Director David White. “Over the years we have more frequently seen more water in more places, and we have sought information and tools which will help maritime industries plan and adapt. The master plan and resources like the Coastal Resiliency Database and Web Explorer, provide a clear image of the potential impacts to waterfront facilities and the connecting infrastructure.” An overview of the Virginia Coastal Resilience Master Plan may be found here: https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/crmp/plan The Virginia coastal Resilience Web Explorer can be found here: https://experience.arcgis.com/ experience/9e32e928ed304fa98518b71905e43085/page/ page_13/

ASSOCIATION IN ACTION In November, Virginians elected Glenn Youngkin as the next Governor, Winsome Sears as Lieutenant Governor, and Jason Miyares as Attorney General; and Republicans flipped enough seats to cede control of the House of Delegates away from Democrats. The VMA is a nonpartisan business organization which is already well known to these incoming leaders, and we look forward to working together with them to improve the conditions and business opportunities for our member companies, and to drive more port related economic development in Virginia. Another key development in November was Congress’ passage, and President Biden’s signing into law, the Infrastructure Investment Jobs Act investing historic levels of funding into infrastructure. In the days following, VMA joined in discussions with other core members of the Hampton Roads Infrastructure Coalition to begin identifying the opportunities to leverage the new funding to begin tackling the region’s infrastructure priorities. VMA was pleased to be included in a roundtable discussion held by Senator Tim Kaine which focused on the supply chain and logistics challenges affecting the nation, and highlighting
the ways in which the Port of Virginia has avoided similar problems and is outperforming competing ports. Other notable representations and presentations during November included: h Hosting an industry roundtable with the Customs & Border
Protection Director of Field Operations.
h Attending the semiannual meeting of the National
Association of Maritime Organizations. (Washington, DC)
h Conducting the annual Hampton Roads Navigational
Summit. (Reported on elsewhere.)
h Presenting to the CIVIC Leadership Institute. h Participating in a port tour and discussion about cyber
security hosted by the Coast Guard for Department of Homeland Security leadership.
