BizLaunch’s Brunch and Business is back! After a two-year hiatus due to the global pandemic, Arlington’s premiere networking event featuring the entrepreneurial journeys of our diverse business ecosystem is back, better than ever before. We invite you to attend this special event where we will feature and celebrate four Black-owned companies in Arlington who exemplify what it means to launch and manage a successful business in Arlington.


Long Bridge is the two-track rail bridge across the Potomac River, which has become a bottleneck for trains moving through the region. Virginia has been working on an expansion of the bridge to four tracks. This would allow for more tracks in Virginia, enabling a major increase in both Amtrak and VRE service. The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority is applying for a $300 million federal grant, and the Chamber wrote a letter to the US Department of Transportation in support of that funding.
