July 12, 2018
Top executives with small- and medium-size companies in central Virginia remain mostly positive about the economy, but trade tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are causing some worry, according to a recent survey.
About half of the chief executive officers who responded to a recent economic outlook survey by the Virginia Council of CEOs and the University of Richmond said they expect to see a “somewhat negative impact” as a result of tariffs. About 6 percent expect a “large negative impact.”
