NOVA to Partner in “Back-to-Work” Website for Region

Gov. Ralph Northam announced four grants Monday to be awarded to organizations within different regions of the Commonwealth. The grants totaled $341,800. In all, Northam said, the grants are part of more than $14.66 million that will be dedicated to a new Economic Resilience and Recovery Program to address the near- and long-term economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative was created through a restructuring of Growth and Opportunity for Virginia (also known as GO Virginia) funding and approved by the GO Virginia board.

In addition to NOVA, the Northern Virginia Chamber and the Economic Development Alliance, other partners in the project include; George Mason University; the Arlington/Alexandria and Fairfax/Loudoun/Prince William workforce boards; Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, Loudoun and Prince William economic development authorities and the Alexandria, Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William, Dulles Regional and Reston chambers of commerce.

The target audience will be businesses of all sizes–but especially small businesses–as well as job seekers looking for training opportunities that may be necessary for them to return to work. Information will also be available from the partner local governments and educational institutions.
