Starting tomorrow, every Friday Newport News Now will feature a local business in the new section titled Business Now. Newport News recognizes the contribution of local businesses to the economic strength, diversity, vitality, and overall character of the City. We are proud of the companies that have chosen to make Newport News their business home and pleased that many continue to grow and expand here. Our business community is comprised of companies ranging from single-person entrepreneurial endeavors to the largest industrial employer in Virginia. We have companies in Newport News from almost every business sector.

To encourage our citizens and community partners to help us recognize and celebrate members of the Newport News business community, we will be regularly highlighting the successes and achievements of various Newport News companies. It is our hope that these brief business snapshots will provide each reader with a better insight into the work taking place in Newport News each and every day.
