The recent $88 billion budget signed by Governor Scott last month included $85 million for the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund. This fund is administered by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to improve public infrastructure and enhance workforce training in order to promote economic development. Officials expect the efforts will create more than 18,600 jobs.

It allocated a record $10.1 billion for transportation infrastructure and included a $171 million tax cut package designed to enhance the State’s economy.

Join us on June 5 for a Tallahassee Speaker Series event featuring Cissy Proctor, Executive Director, Florida Dept of Economic Opportunity in the Dennis McGee Room at the Daytona Beach International Airport. The program will run from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m., and will be followed by a social hour from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. This program is designed for employers, real estate developers as well as city and county officials involved with economic development.
