Welcome

from the President

Formed in 1921, the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most experienced business association in Fauquier County that focuses on providing valuable connections and opportunities for our membership, while also supporting and representing the county’s commercial interests as a whole.

A strong voice for business, major areas of activity and committees include economic development, legislative affairs, membership (new and existing), finance, and promotion of tourism. Ad hoc committees address issues on education, programs and services to members, legislation, the environment and other topics as needed.

Since 2021, the Fauquier Chamber has placed a renewed focus on a variety of elements that drive value to our business community. We looked closely at the past as the first of many steps in designing a strategy for the future and saw a lot of opportunity. We have updated our website to provide more intuitive access to valuable resources, launched a social media campaign resulting in significant reach and engagement, elevated our Leadshare program and established relationships with local, state and federal government agencies and elected officials affording us the opportunity to provide events and forums addressing the needs of our community.

We don’t produce a product; we don’t sell a service but instead we create relationships with businesses and advocate for their growth and prosperity which not only helps our businesses but also helps to elevate the quality of life for the entire community. Better Business makes for a Better Community.

We believe that businesses build relationships and relationships build business and when we better understand the needs of a business, we are able to better support them in reaching their goals.

About The

Chamber

Formed in 1921, the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce is now a member association that has over 500 business interests located in Warrenton, Remington, The Plains and Fauquier and surrounding Counties. Together these businesses employ over 9,000 employees. The organization works with members to promote their enterprises, along with a positive, prosperous business climate, responsible economic growth, and a higher quality of life in our County and region.

The Fauquier Chamber of Commerce is governed by a Board of Directors. As the largest and most experienced business association in Fauquier County, this Chamber promotes its members exclusively, while representing the county’s commercial interests as a whole.

The area’s strongest voice for business, major areas of activity and committees include economic development, legislative affairs, membership (new and existing), finance, and promotion of tourism. Ad hoc committees address issues on education, programs and services to members, legislation, the environment and other topics as needed.

This Chamber focuses on providing valuable connections and opportunities to our membership, and representing our community of commerce in its entirety. We develop and produce informative business seminars and community forums addressing topics of all interests.

The Chamber creates and provides numerous events and sponsorship opportunities to bring business awareness and connections to member companies. From Ribbon Cuttings and Grand Openings, to networking events available through the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday Leadshare & Networking Groups, Monthly Member Luncheons, After Five Socials, the Fauquier Economic Summit and the Annual Meeting and Awards Gala, Valor Awards Dinner and the Old Town Warrenton Fall Festival.

A membership offers many chances to expose businesses to our community through various venues. Candidate and Legislative Forums keep businesses informed on legislative issues of interest. The Fauquier Chamber of Commerce serves as a one-stop access to exclusive business referrals, information, and seminar presentations on business topics.

We are experienced, long-lived, effective, connected, friendly, and can deliver the most impact. We offer multiple monthly events, multiple annual large events, and many opportunities for business promotion. The return on investment becomes most evident with your first contact.

If your business could use a strong introduction to the community and more exposure, which can translate to increased revenue, then Chamber membership is for you. We give members the tools to improve business visibility.

Day-to-day operations are supervised by a full-time President/CEO and Administrative support from offices located at 321 Walker Drive, Suite 202 in Warrenton.

E-Blast Sponsorship Opportunities

We believe the value of e-marketing is determined by the reader, not the sender, and it will remain our goal to build credibility with membership by staying in contact and keeping up to date with issues and resources that matter to business. We are pleased that our strategy has shown success based on feedback from membership as well as the mountains of collected data that all support a consensus that membership overall is finding value in our communications, and we are not overwhelming inboxes.

Chamber

Events

MEET & GREET NEW MEMBER LUNCH

Each month, the Chamber welcomes new members to attend an informal networking lunch, designed to allow them to introduce their businesses to membership, while at the same time learning about other businesses.
A very popular event with numerous business relationships being formed. These monthly events run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

AFTER 5 NETWORKING

Generally held on the third Thursday of each month, Fauquier Chamber After 5 Networking offers members a chance to take advantage of numerous opportunities. Various companies sponsor these events to highlight and educate members about their business. Food and beverages are provided, courtesy of the sponsor.

OLD TOWN WARRENTON FALL FESTIVAL

The Festival is known as the largest one-day craft show in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It has been named one of the Top 20 Events in the Southeastern U.S. by the Southeastern Tourism Society. This annual, free-to-the-public street festival draws nearly 22,000 attendees to enjoy live entertainment, crafts from many countries, demos, and festival foods. With hundreds of vendors and artisans spaced down the middle of Main Street, Warrenton, there is something for everyone.

CHAMBER DAY AT THE CAPITAL

Every January the state Capital in Richmond hosts Chambers of Commerce from all around the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Fauquier Chamber takes a contingency of members and staff to this event, which includes speeches from state leaders, Speakers of the House and Senate, the Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor. We also hear from the current Virginia Governor as we enjoy a lunch provided by the Virginia Chamber of Commerce. We close out the afternoon at the General Assembly Building, watching our state government in session and a visit with our state delegates and senators in their respective offices. We hear about bills they hope to pass and support, and we get the opportunity to discuss any issues we have facing businesses in the Fauquier Community.

RIBBON CUTTINGS

The Fauquier Chamber wants to help you celebrate when opening a new business, renovating, relocating or commemorating an anniversary or other milestone. We provide ribbon and HUGE scissors to truly celebrate what has been accomplished. We invite our members, especially the leadership within our Chamber and local dignitaries, and it’s a photo opportunity that has years of shelf life. The photos we take are sent to our media sources as a press release and posted on our social media sites. We also ask the attendees to sign the cut ribbon as a memento for your special occasion.

BUSINESS NETWORKING LUNCHEONS

Pre COVID, these luncheons were very popular and after a brief hiatus, we are pleased to bring them back! Once a month, Chamber members connect for lunch and networking. Although informal, the Chamber does establish some guidelines with the goal of assuring that each attending member has the opportunity to network with each and all other attendees.

LUNCH & LEARN

The Primary purpose of the Fauquier Chamber Lunch & Learn Program is to provide members with an opportunity to present on a product, service or topic to a large group of people. For a business or organization, free informative and educational seminars are relevant to starting, operating, managing and growing a business. This is a professional development opportunity for the speaker and a learning opportunity for those attending. The Fauquier Chamber’s Lunch & Learn programs carry a small fee, which includes lunch.

Legislative

Activities

As a business-driven organization, the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce stays updated on federal, state and local legislative issues that affect members. The Chamber has a working partnership with the Fauquier County Department of Economic Development and Community Development. On a case-by-case basis, staff and members attend Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, Town Councils, Zoning Appeals, and Planning Commission meetings when items address issues that affect local business.

Prior to the opening of the Virginia General Assembly each January, the Chamber holds the Annual Legislative Preview Breakfast. The State Legislators representing the local area are invited to discuss the issues they will be working on in the upcoming session.

In addition to the State Legislators, we have added a “State of The County and Towns” to this event. Each spring after the closing of the General Assembly, a Legislative Update Breakfast will be held as the Legislators return to give an update on the closed session. The local government officials are also invited to speak regarding their issues and plans. The general public and businesses other than Chamber members are welcome.

Annual

Awards Gala

The Annual Meeting and Awards Gala is the Chamber’s year end event, honoring individuals and businesses that have demonstrated integrity, honesty, strong moral character, and a sense of community.

The award recipients are nominated and voted on by the general membership. Awards have been added in past years due to the Chamber’s desire to recognize and honor the strength of the Fauquier business community.

Recognizing businesses with awards highlights excellence and innovation, motivating companies to strive for higher standards. It provides valuable industry benchmarks and fosters healthy competition. Awards enhance credibility, attracting customers and investors while boosting employee morale. This recognition can lead to increased visibility, networking opportunities, and ultimately drive economic growth by showcasing successful business practices.

Chamber

Leadshare

More than 50 industries are represented across all four of our Leadshare groups: Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.

LEADSHARE MISSION STATEMENT

In an endeavor to facilitate the best interests of the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce (FCC) and the community, we pledge to conduct business in an honorable manner and bring good credit to our respective professions.

WHAT IS LEADSHARE?

Formed to augment business, the Fauquier Leadshare Group is a structured system for furnishing and receiving business referrals. It’s well known that networking is one of the best ways to make connections in business to increase profitability. A very personal form of advertising, it is one of the most cost effective ways to build sales. It takes an enthusiastic commitment of time and interest, but lead sharing is the cutting edge approach to networking. The Fauquier Leadshare Group is designed to assist the participants in expanding their business network.

There can be only one representative from each business area in the group. You get to know other members’ businesses and all members of the group carry each other’s business cards. When a fellow member meets someone who could use your product or service, they can personally recommend your business because they know you and your integrity. It is similar to having a team of sales personnel working for you.

LEADSHARE INDUSTRIES

Our Leadshare groups represent the following business and industry types.

• Life Coaching

• Accounting Services

• Financial Planning

• Building and Construction

• Residential Real Estate

• Promotional Products and Services

• Insurance Agencies

• Business Development

• Health and Wellness

• Community Services

• Commercial Cleaning

• Roofing and Roof Repair

• Computer Services

WEEKLY LEADSHARE GROUPS

The group meets on a regular, predetermined basis (once a week is preferable) to become acquainted with each other’s businesses and learn what kind of client each is seeking. Leads provided during meetings include referrals of prospective clients, names of major representatives, or information on organizations which may generate additional leads or networking opportunities.

LEADSHARE ONLINE

Leadshare members have the opportunity to speak directly to the public showcasing their products and services. These 2-3 minute videos are produced at the Chamber of Commerce and then posted to Facebook. Members are given a copy of the video for their own use as well as any information from viewers collected from the Chat Log.

LEADSHARE MARKETPLACE

Leadshare Marketplace is a program allowing Leadshare members the opportunity to display their business cards at area businesses. We provide an attractive and professional looking acrylic display to showcase our members’ businesses and contact information.

OUR HISTORY

Steeped in equestrian tradition, and surrounded by wineries and vineyards, today Fauquier County is known for being at the heart of hunt and wine country. Famous for its horse farms and beautiful rolling land at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Fauquier offers contrast as both a natural haven and gateway to bustling Northern Virginia and the D.C. Metropolitan Area.

Dating back to the 17th century and the beginnings of our country, the area we now know as Fauquier County was listed in 1608 as part of the Northern Neck of the Colony of Virginia by Captain John Smith, explorer and leader of the Jamestowne Colony. Named after Francis Fauquier, Lieutenant Governor of the Colony of Virginia from 1758 to 1768, Fauquier County was founded from a section of land previously considered Prince William County.

The rich Civil War history in Fauquier County can be experienced through several different self-driven tours, guided tours, museums, and historical trail markers. Although no major battles were fought in Fauquier County, a number of skirmishes involving infantry and cavalry did occur.

After the second Battle of Manassas, which took place just 15 minutes from Fauquier by today’s travel standards, over 1,800 wounded soldiers were brought to Warrenton to makeshift hospitals set up in Warrenton’s businesses, churches and homes. In 1862, Union General McClellan said farewell to his troops, as Commander of the Army of the Potomac, from the balcony of what is now the Warren Green Building.

WARRENTON-FAUQUIER AIRPORT

The Warrenton-Fauquier Airport provides Fauquier County with a safe and efficient means of transportation as well as stimulating economic growth and development. Several businesses and companies in and around Fauquier County depend on the airport to conduct their daily commerce. The economic benefits and value of the airport extends beyond the boundaries of the facility. Even residents, who may never fly, benefit from the airport through ancillary creation of businesses, jobs, income and tax revenues. Additionally, local tourism relies on the airport to help with the gateway transportation of visitors to the various historic and commercial venues in the County. Our on-airport tenants and businesses create jobs and purchase goods, supplies and services from other county businesses which in turn create and support additional jobs in other sectors of the county’s economy.

In an August 2011 Virginia Airport Economic Impact Study, The Virginia Department of Aviation determined the total economic impact to Fauquier County was 131 jobs, payroll of $4.3 million, and economic activity of $14.4 million. The Airport is a county-owned economic enterprise and receives no subsidies from the county government to operate. The airport is currently undergoing several improvements to enhance the safety and flight operations to our community.

This $14 million airport improvement program is supported by federal and state funding with a small percentage matching support by benefactor contributions. The goal to culminate with a terminal supporting the corporate and general aviation community was realized in January 2020 when a new state of the art terminal was opened for business. The new terminal has a conference room and adjoining kitchen capability to support corporate meetings and catering. The building incorporates geo-thermal HVAC, solar panels for day time electrical use, and rainwater harvesting for potable water use.

TAXES

Localities in Virginia collect a 1% sales tax. They do not tax other items taxed at the State Level. Counties and cities in Virginia are separate taxing entities. Therefore, a company pays taxes to either a county or to a city. If a company is located in a town, it pays town and county taxes except for utility taxes which are paid only to the town and the license tax which is paid only to the town unless town law permits the additional collection of a county tax. Manufacturers pay real estate, machinery and tools, truck and automobile, utility, and sales taxes. Nonmanufacturers pay real estate, tangible personal property, truck and automobile, utility and sales taxes. They also may pay either a merchants’ capital or a license tax.

Fauquier County

Lifestyle

A Great Place to Call Home

Fauquier County’s diversity is possibly its most outstanding characteristic — location, topography, natural resources, history, entertainment and the friendly folks that either started here and never left, or came here and couldn’t leave. With welcoming small town eateries throughout the county, Fauquier has the characteristics of true southern hospitality.

Location

Fauquier County is 40 miles east of the Skyline Drive, 60 miles northeast of Richmond, Virginia’s Capital, and 45 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital. The County’s size, 660 square miles, makes it the seventh largest in land mass in the state and, according to the US Census Bureau’s 2011 report of the US richest counties, Fauquier was ranked No. 8.

History

Fauquier County was formed in 1759. There are fifteen Virginia Civil War Trails historical markers and many historical road markers throughout the county. History also abounds with multiple museums, an archeological dig site, several historical properties that open for special events and a historical biplane hangar that features a barnstorming air show every Sunday, May through October.

Churches

Fauquier County has over 70 places of worship with 23 denominations represented.

Events & Attractions

Much of Fauquier County’s heritage is associated with agriculture. The horse industry and related activities, as well as wineries and events such as the Fall Farm Tour, play an integral part of the county’s lifestyle as well as supporting tourism. The Virginia Gold Cup races, held annually in May and the International Gold Cup held annually In October, attract thousands of competitors and spectators to the area from all over the East Coast. Other tourist attractions are the Flying Circus Air Shows in Bealeton, the Old Jail Museum in Warrenton, the Mosby Museum and horse riding trails with the Fauquier Equestrian Forum.

Outdoor

Activities

The Rappahannock River is available for canoeing, kayaking and swimming.

There are several small lakes that are stocked for fishing (Lake Brittle and CM Crockett, for example) and Fauquier County is proud of the C. F. Phelps Wildlife Management Area that is handicapped accessible for fishing and hunting. Sky Meadows State Park provides nature, historical and educational programs, trails for horseback riding and hiking, and connections to the Appalachian Trail. Cyclists frequent the county roads, listed on Virginia’s Bicycling map.

Sky Meadows State Park offers hiking trails with rugged terrain and pleasant camping facilities. The park consists of more than 1,500 acres on a restored farm that has been developed into an interpretive historical crafts display. A portion of the Appalachian Trail extends through the park and leads into the Blue Ridge Mountains. A state forest and two Wildlife Management Areas are also located in the county. Area ponds and streams provide superb fishing opportunities, and the countryside allows for excellent deer, bird, and small game hunting. White water canoeists will find the scenic Rappahannock River an exciting challenge.

Parks & Recreation

The county operates a comprehensive public recreation program, with organized leagues, activities and instructional classes for participants of all ages.

Local facilities include C.M. Crockett Park on the 109-acre Germantown Lake with boating, fishing and hiking trails available. Tennis courts are located throughout the county. Private recreational facilities include swim clubs, tennis and racquet clubs, and a country club complete with an 18-hole golf course. Roller skating is also available in the community and the county also owns and operates the Marshall Community Center, Vint Hill Park, Upperville Park, John Marshall Park, and the Gold Mining Museum at Monroe Park.

Arts &

Entertainment

Fauquier County has unique businesses to nurture the creative spirit of its community, including music, visual arts and the performing arts.

The Fauquier Community Theater provides music, drama and comedy productions for local theater enthusiasts. Various community ensembles, including the Warrenton Chorale, the Youth Chorale, the Hand Bell Choir, and the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra present additional musical performances.

Another staple is the Allegro Community School of the Arts, which has grown, partnered, and improved into a solid, reputable local non-profit. Offering opportunities in music, theater and dance, children are able to explore their creativity and artistic expression.

The wineries of Fauquier County are another part of the county’s attractions.

Twenty wineries are included in the Fauquier County Wine Council, offering a rich selection of establishments to choose from, located in small towns, rolling hills and horse farms with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. For information, visit www.FauquierWine.com.

Great Meadows Event Center is another signature location in Fauquier County, on a 374-acre equestrian event park in the middle of Virginia’s finest horse country. The park preserves open space and advances equestrian sport. Great Meadows is home to the prestigious Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase races, as well as host to numerous events that draw 200,000 people through the gates each year. In 2016, Great Meadows doubled the size of its property, completed a world class arena, and hosted the first FEI Eventing Nations Cup held in North America.

According to the Virginia Tourism Corporation, there are nearly 100 “LOVE” signs across the state. Warrenton’s first LOVE sign was erected at Airlie. The sculpture is known for its use of recycled materials and for the many colorful “love lock” padlocks left by couples married at the resort. A second “LOVEworks” sculpture has been placed near the unrestored caboose in Debot Park, between Third and Fourth streets with the help of a major donor. The sculpture is the first piece of public art to be installed in the downtown area. A third sculpture has been put at the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility (WARF).

For active residents, the Town of Warrenton opened the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility (WARF) in 2007 as a response to the growing recreational needs of families, active adults and seniors. The WARF encourages an active, healthy and well-rounded lifestyle to the residents and visitors of Fauquier County. The facility is equipped with an indoor competition pool, a therapeutic spa, leisure pool, lazy river, fitness room, fitness classes, a multi-purpose room, seven rectangular playing fields, paved hiking paths, an inline skating rink and skate park. The Claude Moore Fun For All Playground is a park designated to help children with physical, social and psychological development.
