Current Narrative:

Opportunity to Appeal:

Pursuant to WIOA Section 106(b)(5), a unit(s) of local government may submit an appeal to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development. The appeal shall contain:

  • A written description on the reasoning behind why the government unit(s) should be designated as a local workforce development area, including data substantiating the reasoning;

  • A written description of how this is in the best interest of the government unit(s), the local labor force, and the businesses in proposed region;

  • A written, detailed reasoning detailing why designation with another region disadvantages the government unit(s), the local labor force, and businesses in currently designated regions;

  • A written proposal for how the region would be structured to fulfill the needs of the government unit(s)

  • After submission of the appeal, the Virginia Board of Workforce Development will have 30 days to provide an initial response. Following this response, the government unit(s) making the appeal will have the ability to present their reasoning to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development. 

  • After presenting to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development, the VBWD will provide a vote to either support or reject the appeal.  The chair will then provide a copy of the appeal along with the VBWD’s support for or rejection of the appeal for the Governor’s consideration.

    The Governor at that time may either support the designation made by the governmental units or reject it.

    VBWD Policy 200-01 will be updated to include this appeals language by December 31, 2020.
