HD45 - Final Report of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Virginia Horse Center
Executive Summary: The joint subcommittee studying the feasibility of establishing a Virginia Horse Center was created by House Joint Resolution No. 48 in March, 1980. Since that time, the subcommittee has explored the means of establishing such a center, including siting, financing and management arrangements. The study was continued in 1981 and again in 1982 as background information was accumulated. Also during this time, the subcommittee explored possible avenues of financing and received information as to the effects of such a center on the Commonwealth's economy. During the fall of 1983 and early 1984, several localities submitted proposals requesting the Commonwealth to establish a Virginia Horse Center in their respective areas. As the interest in the concept of a statewide horse center increased, the joint subcommittee decided to create an opportunity for other locations to submit proposals and to carefully review each proposal before making a recommendation to the Governor and the 1985 Session of the General Assembly. To achieve this, the study was continued once again through House Joint Resolution No. 64. |
