ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ/Governor’s Office Release) - More than $6 million in GO Virginia grants have been allocated to help further address economic impacts of the pandemic.
Governor Ralph Northam made the announcement Friday. Approximately $6.3 million in Growth and Opportunity for Virginia grants will support 15 projects, eight of which are regional GO Virginia projects and seven that are projects through GO Virginia’s Economic Resilience and Recovery Program.
“This funding will go a long way towards supporting a broad-based economic recovery across our commonwealth,” said Governor Northam. “As we celebrate these projects, we must also recognize the leadership and many contributions of the late GO Virginia Board Chairman Tom Farrell, whose business acumen helped advance the GO Virginia mission of fostering lasting regional collaboration, and was instrumental in mounting a robust effort to spur Virginia’s economic recovery amid the pandemic. His legacy will live on through innovative, impactful programs like this one.”
