Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Announces $75 Million Available Through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund

Posted on June 23, 2023

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) today announced it is accepting proposals for $75 million through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund for projects that focus on rapidly developing a highly skilled workforce and on infrastructure initiatives that attract businesses, create jobs, and promote economic growth.

Since Governor DeSantis took office in January 2019, DEO has awarded more than $142 million for 17 workforce training and 26 infrastructure projects in 30 Florida counties through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund, creating an estimated 94,500 direct and indirect jobs so they can continue to support their families, invest in their local communities and thrive.

“Thanks to Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature for investing $75 million in the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund this legislative session,” said Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Secretary J. Alex Kelly . “As people and businesses continue to flock to Florida, championing investments in public infrastructure and workforce training provides good, high-paying jobs for Floridians, and offers opportunities for businesses to relocate and expand, I encourage interested applicants to apply.”
