Special Projects are intended to be those activities and/or partnerships which:
provide potential positive impacts across a substantial portion of the tobacco region of Virginia;
are so innovative in nature that they provide replicable models that could potentially reshape the economies of communities across the tobacco region;
are so broad in scope and geographic impact that they do not clearly fit under the eligibility and project types for the Commission's other funding pools
