Virginia Awards Grant For Purcellville Viticulture Center Study

Town of Purcellville:
“The Town of Purcellville has been awarded $17,000 in matching grant funds to continue planning to establish a viticulture and enology center. Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced the award of the first planning grants of his administration from the Governor’s Agriculture & Forestry Industries Development Fund. Essex County also was awarded grant funding.

The town partnered with the Loudoun County government in making the grant application last year.
In a statement announcing the grants, McAuliffe applauded Essex County, Loudoun County and the Town of Purcellville ‘for exploring how their agricultural assets can be better utilized and grown for future job creation opportunities.’”
~Writes Margaret Morton of the Loudoun Business
