The Thomas Jefferson Partnership for Economic Development on Thursday unveiled a new name, brand and organizational message.
Formed in 1995, the nonprofit economic development organization is now known as the Central Virginia Partnership for Economic Development.
Helen Cauthen, the partnership’s president, explained that she and the organization’s board members did not take lightly the decision to drop the famous statesman from the organization’s name.
