Governor Bob McDonnell and Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling have announced an aggressive Jobs and Opportunity Agenda to get Virginia's economy moving again and create jobs. The McDonnell/Bolling package includes $50M in additional investments in proven job creation programs and legislative changes to provide additional tax incentives for businesses creating new jobs in Virginia. These investments will create 29,300 jobs over the next 2 years and $311 million in increased revenue to the commonwealth over the next 5 years.

"I am delighted to join Governor McDonnell in supporting this aggressive jobs and opportunity agenda," Lieutenant Governor Bollling said. "These proposals will enable us to re-prioritize economic development in Virginia and invest in programs that help create jobs for Virginia families. This is the most important issue currently facing our state, and it deserves our full attention."
