• Virginia CBD businesses file injunction to stop restrictions on hemp products (richmondbizsense.com) — A Powhatan-based CBD company, Cypress Hemp, is part of a lawsuit seeking to block new Virginia limits on hemp products that could make most of its Powhatan inventory illegal and slash revenue. With a local store on Page Road and wholesale ties statewide, the outcome could affect jobs, investment, and product availability for Powhatan customers and businesses. 
• Central Virginia Santa spreads kindness beyond the holidays with kidney donation (henricocitizen.com) — A Powhatan resident known locally as a Central Virginia Santa quietly donated a kidney at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital to help a stranger in need.
