About the
Brunswick County, Virginia, IDA

There’s a lot more to an Industrial Development Authority than grants and loans, but in today’s competitive environment for new and expanding business interests, the fact is, businesses won’t leave home without them. To enable movement of state-supported assets to private businesses in Virginia — an act disallowed generally by the Virginia Constitution — Virginia created the Virginia Industrial Development and Revenue Bond Act as an amendment to the Code of Virginia with the sole purpose to promote the growth of industry and develop trade.

Brunswick County, Virginia Industrial Development Authority (IDA) dispels the perception that rural Southside Virginia might be slow to act. It will be quick to respond to any questions or need you have to learn about the potential our county offers business. We have a highly developed, professional administrative staff, an energetic view to marketing and problem solving and the guidance of a carefully chosen seven-member board of directors that brings a representative view to all aspects of economic development as well as local lifestyle needs. We’ve tapped the best resources, from insurance and education to development and urban planning. This broad-based view of business and county business life gives us a responsive and intuitive understanding of the gamut of needs from new bond issues to utilities and workforce training services. Responsiveness allows our IDA to compete effectively with even the most sophisticated urban localities and produce packaged assistance plans that translate to benefits for the location seeker.

Virginia IDAs are the result of creative, entrepreneurial thinking on the part of Virginia’s government to provide financing for economic development. That kind of thinking overarches the Brunswick County IDA’s approach to making it work for you in Brunswick.

We’ve rolled up our sleeves. Sharpened our pencils – well actually revved-up our computers. We’re ready.

We have the staff, the local government and state support to offer:

• Below market financing on a tax-exempt basis packaged with our localities financial incentives to become the best deal
