From the meeting
At its September 29, 2026 meeting staff proposed a new AgVision Business Development Cost Share Pilot Program using $300,000 of TROF resources. The pilot would give grants of up to $10,000 to farmers for new diversification or innovation practices, with a 25% cash match and 75% paid up front. Staff said about 40 full applications could be invited and the program would roll out in October 2026 if approved.
The key vendor next step is the program administrator role for the Foundation for the Advancement of Southern and Southwest Virginia.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
