$5.4 Million to Boost School Readiness & Future Workforce in Danville & Pittsylvania County

Governor Bob McDonnell praised the Danville Regional Foundation and the Tobacco Commission for their vision, along with support from the General Assembly and the leadership of the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation. “It is through these types of public and private partnerships that Virginia continues to move forward in educational and workforce excellence,” he said. “Two years ago, the Tobacco Commission stepped beyond their usual funding to invest in the VECF’s long term strategy that boosts the region’s long-term economic prospects. That support helped leverage this investment from the Danville Regional Foundation. This is Virginia entrepreneurship at its best.”
