Learn More About The Coalition
Virginia First Cities advocates equitable state funding to support public education and other critically important initiatives.
Facts At A Glance
• Virginia First Cities is a coalition of 15 of the most fiscally stressed older cities in Virginia.
• Our older, core cities are significantly challenged because they have more service needs and fewer resources.
• Virginia's taxation structure and spending policies are hampering our cities' ability to join the nationwide trend of economic and cultural renewal.
