Comment Period Open on Enterprise Zone Program Permanent Regulations

September 12, 2006

The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is taking public comments until October 7, 2006 on the permanent regulations for its Enterprise Zone Program.

Through the Enterprise Zone Program, DHCD makes available two grants for qualified business firms and zone investors: wage-based job creation grants and real property investment grants.

To submit comments, visit Virginia's Town Hall Web site.

In March 2006, many VSCPA members expressed concern about their ability to complete required attestation procedures and issue reports for the Enterprise Zone Program by the April 1, 2006 deadline specified by regulations. Click here to read more on that issue.
