“Since July 2021, my administration has invested $87 million in Florida communities through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund to support projects that make strong impacts. These investments support future growth for Florida communities and create new opportunities for residents.”
The Florida Job Growth Grant Fund is a program designed to grow economic development that promotes public infrastructure and workforce training in Florida.
The proposals are reviewed by DEO and Enterprise Florida, Inc. and Governor DeSantis chooses the ones that seem to fit the needs of the state best.
DEO and EFI are accepting proposals until funding has been awarded, for more information click here.
