Final Budget Signed
Increase in funding for the first time in five years!
On Friday, Governor McDonnell signed the amended budget for 2012-14 with one veto. The Governor vetoed a section of the budget that would have changed the way the Governor's amendments to an existing budget are submitted. The signed budget bill contains $100,000 in additional funding in FY14 for Virginia Commission for the Arts grants to arts organizations. That additional funding is targeted to programs that promote tourism and broaden access to the arts for Virginians in rural and underserved areas. |
