CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Several central Virginia cities and counties are on board to start a new regional cigarette tax board.
Albemarle County and Fluvanna County were among the localities that spoke in favor of the potential board at a virtual meeting of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission Thursday.
Albemarle Supervisor Donna Price says while it won’t be a huge sum of money, it can be helpful.
“We don’t anticipate that the revenue that’s generated is going to be significant enough to result in a reduction of property taxes,” she said.
