Ribbon Cutting







How It Works


Grand Openings and Milestone events are exciting moments for any business, and Fairfax City Economic Development (FCED) is here to help you celebrate. Whether you’re hosting a grand opening, marking an anniversary, or announcing a change in management, FCED offers support with promotion and event coordination. Businesses interested in hosting a ribbon-cutting should begin by submitting a request form. After submission, FCED will follow up to confirm details, and zoning and permit checks will take place. Be ready to provide any required documentation to keep things moving smoothly.




The Process

On the day of your event, FCED will assist with setup and provide necessary materials. Our marketing team will also be on-site to capture footage and help create engaging content for social media. These events not only mark important milestones but also align with FCED’s goal of spotlighting and promoting Fairfax City businesses within the local community.
