About This Opportunity
The International Trade Facility Grant Program provides funding to eligible international trade facilities in Virginia. Businesses can receive grants based on capital investment or increased employment, provided they boost port cargo volume by at least 5% and pay competitive wages. This program aims to stimulate economic development and trade activities at Virginia's port facilities.
Eligibility Requirements
Application Guide
Eligibility is based on being an international trade facility engaged in port-related activities in Virginia, demonstrating a minimum 5% increase in port cargo volume, paying competitive entry-level wages, and creating qualified full-time jobs. Applicants must not have claimed other specific state job credits or grants.
Ensure all cargo volume increases and wage requirements are meticulously documented. Clearly define how new jobs meet the 'qualified full-time employee' criteria and confirm non-duplication with other state incentives.
