Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 17th of June.
Good morning, Chesapeake.
📰 Economy
Small businesses in Chesapeake face higher costs from rising tariffs that are straining profit margins at local operations such as Oakgrove Homestead (which offers organic soap, honey, eggs, jams and syrups).
Tariffs are raising prices at local markets as farmers and merchants adjust to the new costs.
🏛️ Government
Chesapeake residents oppose a proposed data center because they say it will disrupt their quiet, family-focused neighborhoods.
The Planning Commission already rejected the project and the City Council will review a request to delay the application today—neighbors remain determined to preserve their community’s character.
