Gov. DeSantis makes awards for infrastructure improvements in Central Florida

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis awarded funds for infrastructure improvements through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund (JGGF) on Tuesday.

Awards were made to the cities of Umatilla and Plant City for projects that will support the manufacturing industry and increase access to commercial and industrial sites.

These JGGF awards create or retain nearly 4,000 jobs.

“Today’s Job Growth Grant Fund awards build on our commitment to expanding manufacturing and other skilled labor opportunities in Florida,” DeSantis said. “Our state’s excellent fiscal standing enables us to invest in our local communities to create more job opportunities for Floridians.”
