Virginia State Senate considered Delegate Torian’s House Bill 406 and passed by a vote of 38-1 with one abstention. This bill (HB 406) authorizes a local government to provide incentives and regulatory flexibility to defense contractors within a defense production and support services zone established by the local government.

This bill will “let those companies know that we are serious about having them remain in our community.”
