Governor Glenn Youngkin awarded a total of $126 million in Virginia Business Ready Sites Program development grants for 23 sites across the Commonwealth, including the City of Danville and Pittsylvania County. Administered by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, this discretionary program partners with localities, utilities, and state agencies to fund infrastructure improvements that build operations-ready sites for employers and manufacturers ready to expand in the Commonwealth. In addition to developing project-ready sites, the program assembles permits and approvals to make way for a smooth construction process.

The City of Danville was awarded $9,000,000 for the Coleman Site on Gypsum Road. Pittsylvania County received $6,000,000 for the Southern Virginia Megasite at Berry Hill.

“We thank Governor Youngkin and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership for their continued support in preparing project-ready sites across Danville and Pittsylvania County,” said Corrie Bobe, Director of the Danville Office of Economic Development and Tourism. “Investing in site development and infrastructure is essential for regional economic growth and, with support through the Virginia Business Ready Sites Program, we are better positioned to meet the needs of industry. “
