While much is said of various incentives available for owner-occupant home buyers, not nearly as much attention is placed on the businesses, non-profits, & others who are looking to invest in real estate & otherwise nationally, on a state level, nor on a local level. Much of the below is also available at the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Incentives page, & some are available at the Virginia Tax Credits page, & it's best to check those sites in addition to the below list due to items below that are not present there & items on each page that are not present here, as well as the most up to date information on those items that are partly or fully replicated below. A prime example of an item not on either page is the Low Income Tax Credit, which has only been available in VA at the federal level since 2010, when the VA portion of the Low Income Tax Credit was repealed.
