History
Content of Plan
The overall goal of the economic plan is to raise county revenue by “expanding the commercial base.” This primary objective will also be used, in part, to monitor the effectiveness of the plan. The County will study comparisons between commercial revenues (Machinery and Tools Taxes; Business, Professional & Occupational License Fees; Bank Franchise Taxes and Public Service Taxes) and residential revenue (Real Estate tax revenue), to determine if the commercial tax base is expanding. The County will hope to achieve this goal through the following objectives and strategies:
Objective 1 - Improving Image of County’s Business Climate
The County will improve communication with the business community through direct engagement and through strategic partnerships with the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce(Link) and the Thomas Jefferson Partnership for Economic Development(link). “Business targets” will be developed to match desired industries with County business representatives to form an economic relationship. Likewise, the County’s Business Development Staff will play a more proactive and visible role in engaging with the business community. County Business staff and business representatives will meet to review how county policies impact business decisions and functions. This way, County officials can have a better understanding of what issues the business community is most concerned with.
