We are currently working on building capacity within the off to provide technical expertise and will update this page with directions on how Chesapeake Gateways and partners can request and receive technical assistance.Our focus has been outlined in the 2022 Chesapeake Gateways Strategic Plan [Uploaded Document: Strategic Plan]:
