Abstract
  • This article describes Virginia 's current business incentive programs and analyzes whether land use patterns and long-term development effects are considered when providing grant and loan awards. It finds that Virginia does not consider the impact of its economic incentive programs on land use patterns and sustainability. Furthermore, the information publicly available on these programs does not contain sufficient detail on the use of the funds to assess their effect on growth and land use patterns. The article recommends that Virginia consider land use impacts in administering current economic incentive programs by funding growth in locations that are designed to maximize benefits to the surrounding communities. Linda Breggin wrote a larger report, "Virginia Economic Incentives: Missed Opportunities for Sustainable Growth" on which this article is based, for the Environmental Law Institute in 2001.
