SWVA communities receive funding to expand workforce development

Virginia Governor Youngkin says more than $5 million is being distributed across the Commonwealth to support workforce and site development, as well as infrastructure. A Thursday release says the Growth and Opportunity Virginia grants will work to meet unique needs for each community.

$3 million of this funding will go to the GO TEC Virginia 2025 program. Buchanan, Carroll, Grayson, and Wythe Counties will see funding for this program, which aims to develop a pipeline to help students enter the workforce in high-growth industries.
