Say you run a mid-sized credit union in Richmond, and you’ve spent years wishing your trade association had more muscle when regulators or legislators come calling.

It was traced to raw oysters sold from September 18 to October 8, by a single company in Virginia. Last Friday, a person from Delaware was added to the list of 28 people and 14 states.

New data center plans fuel fights in Goochland, Henrico, Chesterfield

Google is eyeing a massive 1,000-acre data center campus in Goochland as residents across the Richmond region push back against projects they fear they have little power to stop. Why it matters: The backlash is crossing county lines, with Henrico residents even pressing their own elected officials to intervene in Goochland's development decisions. Driving the news: A series of developments last week — from heated public meetings to newly disclosed plans and proposed zoning changes — fueled the growing tensions. The latest: Google's interest in Goochland's West Creek Business Park became public last week after the company and county agreed to lift an NDA dating to January 2024. The site has allowed data centers without new public zoning hearings since 1987. Meanwhile in Chesterfield: Hundreds of residents attended a contentious forum Tuesday , pressing Google, Dominion Energy and other industry representatives about transparency, electricity costs and environmental impacts. Google said it would limit its use of NDAs, following criticism over secrecy, while officials pledged continued community engagement . Along the Henrico-Goochland border: Henrico residents are fighting at least four proposed data centers in neighboring Goochland, including a nearly 900-acre campus along Patterson. They're concerned about pollution, noise and their limited

Axios Live: Virginia looks to schools amid weak funding to sustain biotech growth

RICHMOND — Virginia's biotech growth is drawing schools, industry groups and local governments into a statewide effort to boost the industry's place in the region's economy, state and business leaders said at an Axios event. Why it matters: Education and workforce development efforts are investing in the biopharma talent pipeline earlier, even at the elementary school level, with the potential to connect more Virginians with jobs in the growing sector. Axios' Sabrina Moreno and Brock Turner spoke to Virginia deputy secretary for commerce and trade Kristen Dahlman, Virginia Economic Development Partnership chief of talent and workforce strategy Megan Healy, Virginia Bio CEO John Newby and Goochland County administrator Jeremy Raley. The Oct. 29 event was sponsored by PhRMA. What they're saying: Newby identified funding as a weakness for the region, compared to other biotech hubs like San Francisco and Boston . "So we're strong in all categories. The one category that Virginia in this region is weakest in, vis-à-vis the rest of the country, is funding," Newby said. Virginia Bio, the nonprofit life sciences trade group, is looking to address the funding gap by adding more investors to its board and attending national investment conferences. The intrigue: Raley discussed how
