LOCAL FOUNDATION AND SOIL MANAGEMENT FUND; GRANT MONEYS (§ 15.2-958.7)

Any locality may by ordinance create a local Foundation and Soil Management Fund
consisting of appropriated local moneys for the purpose of granting funds to an
owner of private property or a common interest community, as that term is

on previously developed lands. Grants from such fund shall be used only for (i)
the construction, improvement, or repair of a foundation; (ii) soil settlement
and compaction control; (iii) foundation failure and soil compaction mitigation
and protection measures that are a part of a locality&#8217;s comprehensive plan
to address foundation failure and soil compaction mitigation and protection; or
(iv) joint foundation repair and soil compaction mitigation projects. Grants
made pursuant to clause (iii) shall, where practicable, prioritize projects that
include nature-based practices.
