For the 13th consecutive year, VRA has earned the prestigious ‘Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting’ award from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). This award is for VRA’s comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2020.

In 2016, the Orange County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution authorizing the creation of the Orange County Broadband Authority (OCBA). As a rural county, reliable broadband service is largely absent in Orange.

VRA finances a variety of infrastructure project types that support community resiliency and is excited to be a sponsor of the 2021 Resilient Virginia Conference. The conference will take place virtually August 25-27, 2021.

The Virginia Community Flood Preparedness Fund (CFPF) was established to provide support for regions and localities across Virginia to reduce the impacts of flooding. VRA will assist the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) by providing financial management services in connection with the CFPF. DCR will prioritize projects for CFPF financing.

VRA was proud to assist with a $185,650,000 loan to Alexandria Renew Enterprises (AlexRenew) to invest in healthier waterways for Alexandria.

Collaboration is at the core of VRA’s mission. Since 1984, VRA’s team of finance professionals has been supporting and promoting partnerships and regional collaborations between local governments aimed at meeting the critical infrastructure needs of Virginia residents and businesses.
