Economic Development Authority (EDA)

Chesapeake Economic Development Authority

Formed in 1996, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City of Chesapeake acts as an independent entity to foster economic development through the expansion of existing businesses and the creation of new operations. The City provides diverse opportunities and extensive resources to aid in the creation of jobs and capital investments.

The Chesapeake Economic Development Authority is dedicated to the city’s economic prosperity and growth. With meetings held on the third Thursday of every month at 3 p.m., we invite community members, business leaders, and interested stakeholders to join us at our headquarters located at the 555 Belaire office building at Summit Pointe. These sessions are a cornerstone for discussing developments, strategies, and opportunities to enhance our city’s economic landscape. Attending these meetings is a prime opportunity to be at the forefront of Chesapeake’s exciting economic journey, offering a platform to voice opinions, gain insights, and collaborate on initiatives for a prosperous future.
