The Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission, established by the 1999 General Assembly, is dedicated to promoting economic growth and development in formerly tobacco-dependent communities in Southern and Southwest Virginia. Utilizing proceeds from the national tobacco settlement, the Commission has facilitated the creation of tens of thousands of jobs and attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in investment to the region.
With a focus on fostering a diverse economy, the Commission offers grant and loan programs, talent attraction initiatives, and student loan repayment options to support the development of Southern and Southwest Virginia. Through strategic partnerships and innovative funding opportunities like the Energy Ingenuity Fund, the Commission continues to drive economic progress and opportunity in rural Virginia.
