ABOUT THE PUBLISHER Darden Publishing

Quality publications since 1993

Celebrating Over 30 Years of Serving Hampton Roads

Darden Publishing is locally owned by Paul Quillin Darden, a native of Newport News, Virginia with a BSBA degree from Christopher Newport College and the College of William and Mary. He is a recognized award recipient and active leader in the community.

As a life-long Hampton Roads resident, he continues to marvel at the infinite variety of businesses, schools, cultural and recreational facilities and programs that are available with new facilities emerging daily. Our cities and counties are geographically so close that almost any event, business, community center or school can be quickly reached throughout Hampton Roads.

More important is our unity of spirit and development. All of the localities are deeply committed to diversifying and improving our economy, schools, cultural attractions, recreational areas and neighborhoods. This commitment can only enhance our quality of life. Our business and civic leaders are optimistic about the future, and together, we have a strong bond to promote growth and stability in the marketplace.
