</description><link>https://web.arlingtonchamber.org/events/eventdetail.aspx?EventID=8645</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jan 2025 16:29:11 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Large Business Panel Event 10/1/2025 8:00 AM - 10/1/2025 10:00 AM</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Arlington is a high-performing, innovation-ready economic hub that keeps landing major corporate wins while actively managing the next phase of its growth. The county has achieved transformational wins in the last decade, including the relocations of Amazon, CoStar, and Mastercard, as well as their continued investment in Arlington. These projects have reshaped demand, talent concentration, and placemaking in their commercial corridors. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the same time, Arlington is navigating a commercial market shift: office vacancy is elevated compared with historical norms, creating both a near-term challenge and a long-term opportunity for reinvention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;County leaders have responded with innovative policy tools, most notably an adaptive reuse initiative and zoning updates that streamline conversions of older office stock into mixed-use, residential, lodging, and creative workspaces. Those policies are designed to streamline developments, strengthen Arlington&amp;rsquo;s economic competitiveness, and address new uses that keep Arlington&amp;rsquo;s commercial corridors vibrant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This panel will convene the heads of Arlington&amp;rsquo;s major commercial districts, including Ballston, National Landing and Rosslyn Business Improvement Districts, to discuss the &lt;strong&gt;State of Economic Development in Arlington&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; how these major economic development wins have shaped their commercial corridors, what&amp;rsquo;s at stake for landlords and tenants, what&amp;rsquo;s the future for retail and restaurants, and how adaptive reuse and public-private partnerships can convert vacancy into community value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introductory Overview&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aspire Afterschool Learning is the only daily, accessible academic afterschool program offered at no cost to historically underserved 3rd-8th grade students in Arlington, Virginia.

&lt;em data-end="546" data-start="531"&gt;Pressure Drop&lt;/em&gt; is the latest chapter in a 30-year journey&amp;mdash;forged from a dream, fueled with cash from commercial fishing in Alaska, and driven by an obsession with life on the edge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="1057" data-start="716"&gt;Follow the world&amp;rsquo;s best skiers and snowboarders, alongside the next generation, as they charge through Alaskan spines, stacked pillow lines, massive cliffs, giant couloirs, deep powder, and insane jumps. From Norway to British Columbia, California to Alaska, and home in Jackson Hole, each line becomes a brushstroke in the art of descent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="1195" data-start="1059"&gt;This film captures that fleeting space between calm and chaos&amp;mdash;when breath slows, vision sharpens, and the mountain demands everything.&lt;/p&gt;

</description><link>https://web.arlingtonchamber.org/events/eventdetail.aspx?EventID=8938</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Oct 2025 10:13:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>State of Economic Development In Arlington Panel 10/30/2025 8:00 AM - 10/30/2025 10:00 AM</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Arlington is a high-performing, innovation-ready economic hub that keeps landing major corporate wins while actively managing the next phase of its growth. The county has achieved transformational wins in the last decade, including the relocations of Amazon, CoStar, and Mastercard, as well as their continued investment in Arlington. These projects have reshaped demand, talent concentration, and placemaking in their commercial corridors. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the same time, Arlington is navigating a commercial market shift: office vacancy is elevated compared with historical norms, creating both a near-term challenge and a long-term opportunity for reinvention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;County leaders have responded with innovative policy tools, most notably an adaptive reuse initiative and zoning updates that streamline conversions of older office stock into mixed-use, residential, lodging, and creative workspaces. Those policies are designed to streamline developments, strengthen Arlington&amp;rsquo;s economic competitiveness, and address new uses that keep Arlington&amp;rsquo;s commercial corridors vibrant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This panel will convene the heads of Arlington&amp;rsquo;s major commercial districts, including Ballston, National Landing and Rosslyn Business Improvement Districts, to discuss the &lt;strong&gt;State of Economic Development in Arlington&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; how these major economic development wins have shaped their commercial corridors, what&amp;rsquo;s at stake for landlords and tenants, what&amp;rsquo;s the future for retail and restaurants, and how adaptive reuse and public-private partnerships can convert vacancy into community value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introductory Overview&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
