Summer in Arlington means packed farmers markets, community events and plenty of dogs enjoying the outdoors alongside their owners. For Chippin, a pet food company scaling the use of sustainable proteins, these summer traditions have been more than just a part of local life. They have helped shape the company’s growth.
Headquartered in Arlington since 2021, Chippin attends dozens of events across the DMV each summer. The company is inspired by the unique ability pets have to bring people together and spark conversations that might not otherwise happen. A simple “Would your dog like a treat?” has opened the door to discussions about everything from digestive health and food allergies to stories about flying invasive fish and the environmental impact of traditional protein sourcing.
Founded on the belief that environmental challenges can become opportunities for innovation, Chippin built a consumer brand around alternative proteins, including cricket protein and invasive silver carp. Their work with invasive carp has been supported by conservation leaders, including the World Wildlife Fund, as an example of how market-based solutions can address environmental challenges. By creating economic value for an invasive species, the company helps align ecological restoration with commercial opportunity.
As the company has grown, so has the opportunity. What began as a pet food brand is now evolving into a broader ingredient platform. This year, Chippin launched IGNIZA, an ingredient platform designed to unlock nature-positive proteins for the pet food industry, starting with invasive silver carp. (more…)
After moving from one temporary location to another on Columbia Pike, The Black Heritage Museum of Arlington has settled into its new digs — for now.
The museum is currently located on the first floor of the Ethiopian Community Development Council building (3045B Columbia Pike), but it has bounced around the Pike ever since it transitioned from an online museum to a physical location in 2018.
Development plans for St. Charles Catholic Church in Clarendon have descended into planning purgatory.
The brick church, which occupies a large piece of land near Northside Social and George Mason University’s Arlington campus, has assembled plans to redevelop the property with a new church building and parish center, affordable housing and underground parking.

Arlington’s Housing Market Profiled — “Outside of their single-family zoning reforms, both Minneapolis and Arlington have been national standouts for permitting large numbers of big apartment buildings. In both places, rents are more affordable than in peer cities, in part due to this multifamily construction. One new apartment building in either locality may exceed its number of missing-middle units permitted in a year.” [Governing]
Condo Sale Record — “A 29th-floor Rosslyn condo has set a record for the most expensive sale of its kind in Virginia. Ralph Shrader, chairman of Booz Allen Hamilton’s board of directors and its former CEO, and his wife, Janet, sold their Waterview condo this week for $5.95 million, or just shy of $1,300 per square foot. The unit was originally listed for $6.95 million in July before dropping to $6.25 in late October.” [Washington Business Journal]
