Charlottesville businesses may very well be rethinking how they will move forward after a day of meeting other businesses and potential customers face to face.
Thursday central Virginia businesses gathered at the Main Street Arena for a business expo held by the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce.
Organizers say what makes the expo unique is that it is not a job fair - it is a chance for reaching out to the community and collaborating with other businesses.
Frank Squillace with the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce said, "The reason we hold this every year is to give the businesses and nonprofits the opportunity to share their products and services with the general public and with other businesses as well."
The annual expo boasted 45 businesses this year, 50 percent more than participated last year.
