the pulp:
A number of customers (less than 5k, according to the DPU) on Richmond’s Southside were impacted by an equipment failure that resulted in “the corruption of utility meter reading data” and will receive a single bill reflecting the previous and current billing period, with a 15% reduction in fees to help offset the disruption.
Bizsense has released a list of the top 25 fasting growing companies in the region, with Richmond National Insurance Company achieving more than 2000% average annual growth over the last three years.

Have a glowing day RVA!
