FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Mark A. Miner STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR GILMORE CONCERNING LOCAL LAND USE "It is the policy of the Commonwealth to promote a healthy environment and a healthy economy for all Virginians. Virginia's policies provide localities the opportunity to make land-use decisions suited to the needs of each locality. Each locality has the discretion to determine whether their community needs more housing, more business or more open space. Localities may also cooperate to determine what is best for their region through the Planning District Commissions. Land use decisions impact citizens' daily lives and, in Virginia, land use decisions are made at the level of government closest to the citizens impacted. ###### |
