 Virginia business ready sites program

The Virginia Business Ready Sites Program (VBRSP) is a discretionary program to promote development and characterization of sites to enhance the Commonwealth’s infrastructure and promote its competitive business environment. The program’s goal is to assess and advance the readiness of potential industrial sites of at least 50 acres in the Commonwealth of Virginia in alignment with the goals outlined in the Governor's economic development plan.

Built by Virginia,
for Virginia

VBRSP was developed by a team of state, regional, and local stakeholders including VEDP, DEQ, railroad representatives, utility representatives, civil engineers, and other government, business, and industry representatives. Grants are considered on a competitive basis and made at the discretion of the VBRSP Project Review Committee and the Funding Approval Committee.

VBRSP program

In an effort to develop a portfolio of viable sites across the Commonwealth, VBRSP grants are available to assist with the costs associated with the initial assessment and the development required to increase a site’s currently designated Tier Level to a higher Tier Level (see Site Development Program Guidelines for Tier Level definitions). 

The VBRSP program has two components:

certified sites 

Virginia’s certified sites highlight a selection of vetted industrial properties available through VEDP’s site selection process. Each site features essential details on acreage, zoning, ownership, and access to key infrastructure—making it easier for companies to evaluate options and move quickly. Site selectors can also explore additional available properties through VEDP’s interactive sites database for a broader view of opportunities throughout the Commonwealth.
