Introduced by: M. Kirkland Cox | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Growth and Opportunity Act; report. Establishes the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board to administer grants from the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Fund for regional economic and workforce development projects. The bill provides that regional councils will be established across the Commonwealth, consisting of representatives of government and the business and education communities, and councils may submit applications for collaborative projects in their regions that enhance private-sector growth, competitiveness, and workforce development. A portion of the grant funds will be awarded on a population basis and a portion on a competitive basis, but no such grants shall be awarded absent a subsequent enactment of the General Assembly authorizing the award of grants. This bill is identical to SB 449.
