This amendment provides funding of up to $500,000 from nongeneral fund revenues of the Coalfield Economic Development Authority the second year for economic development activities in Southwest Virginia. This represents the first of an anticipated three-year need totaling $1.5 million. Funding is intended to benefit the Lenowisco and Cumberland Plateau Planning Districts with the expectation that marketing efforts will be conducted with collaboration from the Virginia Coalfields Economic Development Authority and other regional stakeholders. Funding is contingent upon equal matching funds being awarded by the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission.
