Delegate Scott understands that small businesses are the core of the economy of the 30th District and the Commonwealth. In past sessions, he carried successful legislation to make it easier for small businesses and the insurance agents who serve them to shop for health insurance. Agriculture is also a significant contributor to our local economy and remains a major land use. Delegate Scott's efforts to assist new and growing farm wineries are part of his commitment to Virginia agribusiness. In the 2012 General Assembly session, Delegate Scott carried successful legislation, HB 300, to create the beehive grant fund, which will help not only beekeepers, but also the producers of numerous crops in the 30th District and throughout Virginia.
