An active team of dedicated volunteers
Business First Program
The Business First program connects Henrico companies with a team of experienced volunteer business leaders who meet with them year-round to learn about their successes, challenges, and resource needs. Insights from these visits guide the Henrico EDA in providing businesses with the resources and support they need for continued growth.
“Serving on the Business First Committee has been a rewarding opportunity to engage directly with business leaders and help connect them with the valuable resources and support offered by Henrico Economic Development Authority. Through these connections, businesses have been able to find new locations, gain recognition as small or minority-owned enterprises, and unlock new opportunities for growth. My biggest takeaway is this: The Henrico EDA is deeply committed to the success of Henrico’s business community and works hand-in-hand with local businesses to help them thrive.”
