Governor Northam Announces $7.7 Million in Grants to Drive Regional Economic Growth
Funding will allow communities to prioritize local needs
“Governor Ralph Northam today announced an allocation of more than $7.7 million in Growth and Opportunity for Virginia (GO Virginia) grants to advance community economic recovery efforts. This funding will support 14 projects focused on economic diversification, workforce development, talent pipelines, economic resiliency, and business-ready sites.
“As Virginia’s economy continues to surge, it’s important that every part of the state shares in that success,” said Governor Northam. “These grants support projects that drive local and regional economic growth, spurring innovation and creating jobs in our communities across the Commonwealth.”
GO Virginia has funded 196 projects and awarded approximately $75.6 million to support regional economic development efforts since 2017.”
