Business Growth Lessons of Capitol Proportions

I just returned from a high-octane vacation and business networking trip to the Washington, D.C. area. What a breath of fresh air! After having spent the past few years as a resident of Central Oregon – an economically challenged (read: depressed) community, I was excited to discover a vibrant,  affable business community that has weathered the economic storm:  Alexandria, Virginia.

During my interview with Alexandria Chamber of Commerce‘s CEO, Tina Leone, I learned:

 

  • The traits of the nation’s 5th fastest growing city
