FloridaCommerce Encourages Applications for Military Community Grants

FloridaCommerce is actively encouraging local governments and economic development entities situated in communities with military installations to apply for grant opportunities. These initiatives include the Defense Reinvestment (DRG) and Florida Defense Support Commission (FDSC) programs.

The primary objective of these grants is to provide financial support to military communities. This support is intended to foster investments, stimulate job creation, and implement community protection initiatives that benefit areas surrounding military bases.

Entities interested in applying for these grants must submit their applications by the deadline of July 7.
