NVC's economic vision, the NOVA Roadmap, calls on us to build an economy that competes by design, not by default. One of the four main goals is to increase affordability, particularly in housing. This bill sets an ambitious yet achievable goal for localities to increase their housing stock, which would lead to more affordable housing options for the Commonwealth's workforce. Many Northern Virginia localities are hard at work improving their processes, and this reasonable target is something NVC believes we can achieve. We thank Del. Helmer for his leadership on this issue.
