Chesapeake local coverage / Public records
Chesapeake, VA public records
The official records we read for Chesapeake every day, as tables rather than stories: 16 rows across 3 kinds of record. Every row links to the source it came from. Nothing on this page is written by a model.
Business openings and closures reported
last read 2026-09-16 07:45 ETWhat Newzino reported from licence and permit records in the last 180 days. An opening needs two kinds of record for one business at one address; a closure is a licence absent from consecutive readings and is worded "appears to have closed".
| Date | What was reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-09 | The Sweet Spot licensed at 660 Belaire AVE in Chesapeake | record |
| 2026-08-19 | La Salvadorena Restaurant licensed at 3115 Western Branch BLVD in Chesapeake | record |
| 2026-08-18 | Jose Tequilas Cocina Mexicana licensed at 1672 Sentinel DR in Chesapeake | record |
Each row links to the story where one exists, and to the official record.
New licences and permits on the official rosters
last read 2026-09-16 07:45 ETEvery business record that appeared on the city's or county's own lists in the last 90 days. A record is not an opening by itself - a permit alone means plans filed - which is why this table is separate from the one above.

Where the source publishes no date, the row says when the record was first listed - the day we first read it, not the day it was filed. The day a roster was read for the very first time is left out entirely: on that day every long-established business would wrongly read as new.
Mass layoffs and plant closings (WARN notices)
last read 2026-09-16 07:56 ETState WARN Act filings naming this city in the last year. The Act covers only layoffs above a statutory size, so this is not every job lost.
Nothing in the window. That is a normal state for most places most weeks.
From the state labour department's WARN list; each employer links to the notice.
