Virginia Enterprise Zone “How to Qualify” Workshop

Registration is now open

The Virginia Enterprise Zone (VEZ) Program is a state and local partnership and a critical tool in supporting business expansion and location in Newport News. The city boasts two of these zones and continues to be among the top users in the state, consistently leveraging a significant share of grant dollars set aside to support growth of qualifying businesses. All of the city’s industrial and business parks are within these Zones as well as a significant number of Newport News businesses.

The Virginia Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD) will conduct four free workshops on how to qualify & apply for the state’s Grant Year 2022 VEZ incentives. The state incentives include a Real Property Investment Grant and a Job Creation Grant.
