The regularly scheduled Greater Alexandria Economic Development Authority meeting Tuesday was called off in lieu of commissioners and others participating in the organization’s 2025 Strategic Retreat set for five hours on Saturday.

Commissioners and “community stakeholders” will meet from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Bolton Avenue Community Center in Alexandria.

An e-mail invitation distributed presented an overview of the event.

“The purpose of this retreat is to engage GAEDA’s Board of Commissioners, community stakeholders, and partners in thoughtful dialogue on the Authority’s mission, priorities, and initiatives. This dedicated session will provide an opportunity to assess current projects, identify future opportunities for investment and redevelopment, and strengthen our commitment to fostering economic growth within the City of Alexandria.

“Your participation and insights will be invaluable as we work collectively to chart GAEDA’s path forward. A detailed agenda and supporting materials will be provided in advance of the retreat.”
