CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. ~ Crystal River, Florida - Governor Ron DeSantis has announced the awarding of funds for workforce development and infrastructure improvements through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund (JGGF) and the Rural Infrastructure Fund (RIF). The recipients of these awards include Citrus County, Cross City, and Cedar Key, all of which will use the funds to complete critical infrastructure projects and strengthen their rural economies.
In a statement, Governor DeSantis expressed his belief that these investments will attract high-demand, high-wage jobs and businesses to the Nature Coast community. He also emphasized the strategic nature of these investments and how they will benefit not only businesses and job seekers but also local economies.
J. Alex Kelly, Secretary of Commerce, echoed the governor's sentiments and expressed gratitude for his investment in these "catalytic projects" for Citrus, Dixie, and Levy Counties. Kelly believes that these funds will help bring high-wage, high-demand jobs to these communities.

The largest award from the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund was given to Citrus County in the amount of $2.8 million. This funding will be used for infrastructure improvements at Holder Industrial Park, specifically to build a wastewater line that will serve the park. This project is crucial as it is the final piece needed to open up the 551-acre industrial park for business.
It is estimated that once completed, Holder Industrial Park will create 1,000 direct jobs and between 1,000-2,000 indirect jobs in various high-skill and high-wage occupations such as manufacturing, warehousing, and industrial sectors. The park's completion is also expected to increase Citrus County's Gross Domestic Product by $367 million annually.
The Florida Job Growth Grant Fund is an economic development program aimed at promoting public infrastructure and workforce training throughout the state. Proposals are reviewed by Florida Commerce before being chosen by Governor DeSantis to meet specific demands for workforce training or infrastructure needs in communities across the state.

The Town of Cross City will receive $620,000 to perform water quality testing, evaluate existing potable wells, and potentially drill a new well.
The Rural Infrastructure Fund is another economic development program that focuses on improving infrastructure in rural areas. These funds are intended to support projects that will enhance the quality of life and promote economic growth in these communities.
