Orientation Conference Program
2017 GO Virginia Orientation Conference April 20, 2017 DoubleTree by Hilton Richmond, VA Hosted by: The Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board About GO Virginia The Virginia Initiative for Growth and Opportunity in Each Region (GO Virginia) was initiated in 2015 by Virginia’s senior business leadership to foster private- sector growth and job creation through state incentives for regional collaboration by business, education, and government. Virginia’s economic growth now lags that of its traditional competitors and the nation as a whole, principally because of the loss of higher paying jobs tied to federal spending and a lack of diversity in Virginia’s economic drivers. The GO Virginia coalition successfully worked in a bipartisan manner with the General Assembly and Governor McAuliffe to pass a legislative package during the 2016 session to provide a framework for regional collaboration to grow and diversify the state’s economy. The state budget includes funding to encourage localities to work together on priorities identified by the nine Board- designated regional councils to accomplish this goal. As the GO Virginia effort now transitions from concept to implementation, the coalition will continue to raise awareness of the economic challenges facing the state and the need for continued support of the effort. The 2016 legislation also created the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board, a 24 member group composed of private-sector business leaders, legislators, and members of the Governor’s Cabinet, which will approve the incentive grant awards and assist the regions in the development and implementation of their growth and diversification plans. The grant program is administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. -

Smithfield Foods has been leading the industry in sustainability for more than two decades. But we’re not a company to rest on our laurels. We recently committed to becoming carbon negative across our U.S. operations by 2030. That means we’ll be effectively removing more carbon from the atmosphere than our operations emit. To achieve our goal, we’re continuing to innovate across our entire supply chain. This includes expanding our efforts to capture methane from hog manure on farms and transform it into renewable natural gas, reducing waste sent to landfills and minimizing the distance our trucks travel each year.
