In Pittsylvania County, we offer a range of competitive financial incentives determined by individual project parameters.  Incentives most commonly are determined by job creation and project investment.  For more information on available incentives please contact our office directly.

There are a number of specific incentives we offer as part of our Pittsylvania Country Enterprise Zone Program.  The Enterprise Zone is a designated area of growth for companies to locate or expand their operations allowing them to receive local and state incentives.  Some of these incentives include:

• Site Discount – Industrial sites owned or controlled by the County within the Enterprise Zone will be sold at below-market rates.
  
• Job Creation Compensation – Create at least 25 new manufacturing jobs and your company will receive $250 per job, up to 400 jobs.
  
• Local Sales Tax Refund – We will refund the 1% local sales tax on material purchased in the County for construction and/or expansion of a facility of at least 70,000 square feet that creates 25 permanent full-time jobs under the approved NAICS Codes (31-33, 421-422, 44-45, 56142-561422).
  
• Building Permit Fee Waiver – Construct a new facility or expand an existing one in the Enterprise Zone under designated NAICS Codes and we will waive building permit fees otherwise required by the County.

In addition, the following resources are available:

• Dan River Business Development Center (Incubator): This 30,000 square foot building is specially designed for technology-based businesses, light manufacturing and service based startups.
  
• Regional Center for Applied Technology and Training (RCATT): This advanced technological training center provides advanced computer and biological training programs. RCATT offers a 10% reduction in fees for courses to companies located within the Enterprise Zone.
