A Guide to the Working Papers of Virginia Governor George F. Allen, 1994-1997 #35864

Series I. Opportunity Virginia Files , 1994-1996 .

Boxes 1-5

Extent: 1.75 cu. ft.

Contains reports, plans, correspondence and other material associated with Governor Allen's 1994 economic development initiative, Opportunity Virginia. The initiative was divided into two sections, the first being the creation of regional economic development advisory councils (REDACs). The regional councils were composed of business leaders, economic development professionals, elected officials, educators, and citizens. The councils were expected to provide support and guidance for regional economic development projects. The second part of the Opportunity Virginia initiative was the creation of a strategic plan structured around ten core economic sectors including agribusiness, aerospace, biotechnology, tourism, manufacturing, and information technology. Working groups from each of the sectors participated in the development of a long-range plan titled "Opportunity Virginia: A Strategic Plan for Jobs and Prosperity," which was revealed by Governor Allen in December 1994.

Arranged according to subject and then alphabetically or numerically within.
