REGISTER Arlington Chamber Announces 2022 Public Policy Positions The Arlington Chamber of Commerce recently released its policy position recommendations for 2022. The policy positions comprise two documents: one containing legislative priorities for the Virginia General Assembly’s 2022 session, and one focused on local issues within the purview of Arlington County’s government. The Chamber’s top priorities for Arlington and Virginia's economic wellbeing include building and maintaining strong partnerships between government and the business community, continuing to prioritize economic development for businesses of all sizes, and expanding efforts to increase housing opportunities. We also advocate for building a robust infrastructure including internet connectivity throughout the Commonwealth, supporting our workforce through education and training opportunities, and maintaining the longstanding policy framework which has made Virginia the best state in the nation in which to do business.
