Kick Off Summer in Suffolk! ☀️

Looking for a reason to celebrate the start of summer? Head to Sojourn Fermentory this Saturday for their summer party packed with live music, games, handcrafted bucket cocktails, and the release of a special lavender cider made with locally grown lavender from Owl Tree Acres Lavender Farm.

Bring your creativity for the Bucket Hat Contest, enjoy limited-time food specials, and soak up the sunshine with friends and family. From local flavors to summer fun, this is a great way to support local businesses and experience everything that makes Suffolk unique!

An awesome time attending the Bon Secours Harbor View Community Picnic — celebrating their one year anniversary! 🎉🏥

A warm welcome to Bronco Federal Credit Union on their official ribbon cutting in Suffolk ✂️

Excited to see continued investment and growth in our community, congratulations! 🎉

During today’s State of the City Address, we proudly announced two major investments that continue to strengthen Suffolk’s economy and future growth:

🏢 TowneBank is expanding its Harbour View Campus with a new 85,000-square-foot facility that will support its growing operations team and provide enhanced amenities for employees. The project reflects TowneBank’s long-term commitment to Suffolk and its continued confidence in our community.

⚙️ AMADAS Industries announced a major investment in its Suffolk operations, including more than $10 million in advanced manufacturing equipment and facility improvements at its Holland Road location. A Suffolk company since 1963, AMADAS continues to innovate and grow right here at home.

These announcements represent more than economic growth; they reflect the strength of Suffolk’s workforce, our business-friendly environment, and the partnerships that continue to move our city forward.

Thank you to TowneBank and AMADAS Industries for choosing to invest in Suffolk’s future! 💙
