commonwealth's general fund, "
says Hill. " In fact, in the last five
years, ABC has contributed more
than $2.6 billion for designated
state programs and services. "
Since its establishment, the
agency has contributed $12 billion
to the Commonwealth's general
fund, supporting major education,
health, and transportation
initiatives.
But the agency does more than
simply make money. It promotes
public safety by ensuring an
orderly and regulated system for
sales and responsible consumption
of alcohol. It provides alcohol
prevention and public education
initiatives for Virginians of all ages,
including programs to prevent
underage alcohol use and promote
the responsible consumption of
alcoholic beverages for those of age
who choose to consume.
In addition, Virginia ABC's
expertise in alcohol laws and
regulations make it an important
resource for ABC licensees to
address compliance issues and
reduce criminal activities involving
alcohol.
Given its growth and scope of
responsibilities, Virginia ABC
outgrew its facilities.
" This investment in new facilities
allows ABC to increase operational
efficiencies and meet customer
demand through the opening
of new stores, " says Hill, " which
ensures we can continue to provide
a reliable source of revenue for the
Commonwealth. "
Tall, high-density storage racks of products in the
distribution center are part of the efficient storage
in the new Hanover space. The center can process
60,000 cases in a typical eight-hour shift.
