Technology zone

In 2001, City Council adopted an ordinance which established a technology zone which allows qualified businesses to have reduced Business Professional and Occupational License (BPOL) taxes. Since then, over 900 firms have applied for and received the credit. While promoted by the economic development office, the program is administered by the Commissioner of Revenue's office. [4]

Made in Charlottesville

In 2017, the department launched a campaign to publicize city businesses called Made in Charlottesville. [5]
