COLLABORATIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACT

In collaboration with the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Act, the Virginia Collaborative Economic Development Act creates the Virginia Collaborative Economic Development Performance Grant Fund to be administered by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) and the GO Virginia Board. Participating localities may enter into a collaborative economic development (CED) plan identifying the commitments of the participating localities to implement a collaborative approach to economic development. A CED Grant is available to participating localities that can demonstrate that such an initiative led to a company’s location or expansion in the participating localities and the company’s creation of at least 200 new jobs and capital investment of at least $25 million in the participating localities.
