The 驾驶室外 workshop grant program has concluded. Stay tuned for a new DRIVE program opportunity coming Summer 2024!
我们知道 维吉尼亚州 is for Outdoor Lovers, but what can our communities do to take that message further? The 驾驶室外 grant program built on the 开2.0 Statewide Strategic Plan with a goal of enhancing outdoor recreational development, 资产, and entrepreneurial opportunities within 维吉尼亚州.
Growing the outdoor economy will spur job creation and private investment, further enhance 维吉尼亚州’s brand as an outdoor destination, and yield opportunities for outdoor-focused tourism partnerships. Outdoor recreation has proven to be a recession-proof industry and a driving force in the American economy, generating $862 billion in economic output spending and supporting 4.5 million jobs across the country.
