RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia is handing out nearly $200,000 to five projects in an effort to spur economic development and job creation in areas that are struggling economically.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe said $196,000 is being made available through the Building Collaborative Communities program, which seeks to encourage communities to forge regional partnerships in an effort to build new economic opportunities for residents.
Among the regions that will benefit from the funds is Northern Neck, which is getting $70,000 for a high-tech center.
