Loudoun Economic Development Newsletter June 2016
Thanks for the Memories

Loudoun County is proud of you, our small business community, and we take great pride in providing an ecosystem and direct assistance to help you succeed. One of the many things we do to help companies grow is Small Business Week.

This year, the Board of Supervisors, our staff and our partners teamed up for the biggest and most successful Small Business Week in Loudoun's history. We had almost 1,000 participants and almost 20 events packed into the week of May 16-22. We thank all of you who participated in Small Business Week workshops and special events! Find yourself in our photos by searching on #LoudounSBW on Facebook and Twitter.

Last week, board members helped us continue the celebration of our small business community by personally visiting 17 Loudoun companies. We thank the businesses listed below for welcoming us into your facilities, telling us your stories, and making this county a unique place where dreams become #LoudounPossible.
