Loudoun County and many other regions face serious budgetary issues while at the same time we must support the needs of a population that has grown rapidly over the past few years. A fundamental solution to this problem is to strategically attract new businesses into our community that will provide the tax revenue necessary to support our community, while at the same time improving our living conditions and environment.
At LoudounForce.org we have posted an article, which is from a talk we gave at the last Board of Supervisors meeting. It describes why "Green" Tech and businesses make an excellent strategic target sector to attract to our communities. One point is that the total North American venture capital invested in green tech companies reached $2.9 billion in 2006, an increase of 78 percent over the $1.6 billion invested in 2005.
