City of Chesapeake building on success

Chesapeake's Indian River Distribution Center, near the Port of Virginia, attracted U.S. Auto Parts Inc. of Carson, Calif., to the city, where it will spend $2 million on the East Coast location of its Internet retail business.

Chesapeake's economic development recruiters have marketed the city as a haven for international companies and logistics businesses. Their considerable time and efforts are paying off, bringing investment and jobs at a time the region sorely needs them.
