LIVE OAK, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference Thursday morning in Live Oak to announce a total of $9.2 million for infrastructure projects in three big Bend counties.
From the Job Growth Grant Fund, $2.2 million will go to Suwannee County for the construction of a wastewater plant at a county industrial park, $2 million is headed to Madison County for road widening and resurfacing at an industrial park there and Big Bend Technical College in Taylor County will get $5 million for a new, 10,000 square foot advanced manufacturing teaching facility, according to the governor.
“Last year (the legislature approved) $75 million (for the Job Growth Grant Fund), what that does is it lets us in the governor’s office work with our state agencies and work with local communities to provide grants for either infrastructure improvements or for workforce training and workforce development,” DeSantis said. “Since we are coming to the end of the fiscal year — well, I guess we have a few more months, but we have a new budget coming in that’s going to going to be passed soon — we’re like, ’OK, I want to make sure we use this job growth grant money and be impactful,’ so we felt that doing it in these awards in Idalia-impacted communities would go a long way,” DeSantis said.
J. Alex Kelly, Florida secretary of commerce, joined DeSantis for the event at Busy Bee #025 Travel Center along U.S. 129.
“A job in manufacturing is on average an $11,000 boost to a household. That’s a game changer for anyone,” Kelly said. “The work you’re putting in here with the support of the governor is a game changer for the community. It’s these kinds of targeted investments too that we’re seeing that are really raising the profile of North Florida.”

On the same site, Florida legislature has a bill to put anti-communism classes in schools. Hope the other states do the same.
Highly successful governor....
desanctimonious only became governor, after convincing Trump to give him endorsements and support...
Then like a snake, desanctus stabs Trump in the back.
Well, we’ll see how sucessful desantis and Florida continues to be....
Since desantis hired 3 of his successful presidential campaign team to advise him on how to sucessfully govern Florida..... and continue his not so stealth campaign for political office.
Correct. That's what governors do.
This poster searches the internet every day to see whatever DeSantis is up to and posts articles about the most routine things state governors do like it is some sort of a conspiracy.
You cannot be taken seriously, you democRAT troll ... you cannot even spell the Governor of Florida’s name properly.
Who signs your paycheck, troll: George Soros or Klaus Schwab?
routine things state governors do like it is some sort of a conspiracy?
I’m not the one putting out ‘media availability’ notices saying desanctimonious is going to be doing a press conference somewhere, with no information on what he’s going to talk about....
and as far as routine...
Where were the daily press conferences on what he was doing for, or concerning, Florida, when he was doing grasley 99 caucus site visits?
It should be easy for you to generate a daily list, if he was doing it, right?
Oh, that’s right.... desanctus didnt do any while officially running for president.... because he thought he didn’t need to worry about governing Florida anymore.
You keep blaming the “rnc” here.
Don’t you know Trump cleaned house there and installed his friends and family? He may lose on a number of fronts, but the RNC is now safely in his back pocket.
I live here, do your own research or just be bitter person who spouts off ignorant nonsense
I have been to that Busy Bee. It (and others) are impressively large and well-stocked convenience stores.
It gets tiring, you can be 100% MAGA until the day you die but trashing an effective conservative governor makes no sense to me, we need more politicians that govern like DeSantis
Re: 22 - “Well, we’ll see how sucessful desantis and Florida continues to be....”
Any time you want to make a wager on the success of DeSantis as Governor, bring it on. We’ll agree on what will constitute success.
Re: 12 - Why hit the abuse button over that?
Those sorts of posts need to be memorialized. Whether they are made due to ignorance, low intellect, or whatever, they are what they are.
Anyone who actually wants to Make America Great Again (the letters really do mean something) will not trash effective conservative governors, legislators, and judges.
It is clear that these individuals are not really interested in Making America Great Again ... they're just interested in stirring up trouble.
The only real question is: Which set of anti-American foreign or domestic enemies is paying them?
—> We who actually live here worship him as Governor.
Idolatry never ends well.
We could’ve had the most successful conservative governor in history but everyone wanted the orange Democrat.
Sure, Trump will probably beat Biden but then what? Another trillions in spending? More gun bans? Hand the country over to Dr. Fauci?
Yes, I’ll vote for him but my bar has been set pretty low. At best, I expect Trump will be only slightly less liberal than Biden is.
Agree - and that said, it is kind of funny in a way. Points? LOL - Good one Joney.
I’m a DeSantis fan - he’s great. But I’ve always been a Trump supporter first. DeSantis is still wet behind the ears. Trump will be amazing - have faith.
That said, my dream ticket has always been Trump/DeSantis. Trump can Make American Great Again and DeSantis can make it sane and a happy place to live. They would be a great team.
Mr. Trump poisoned that well in November, 2022.
You are making absolutely zero sense - this is literally crazy.
DeSantis wasn't doing these sorts of events routinely ever since he became governor? He only started doing them after he ended his presidential run? And because they may have not occurred as often while he was campaigning for President, that means there is something untoward or unusual about it that he has since resumed them more regularly? Media availability notices weren't sent out when when previously scheduling press events? That is really your argument?
That is ridiculous - you should be embarrassed.
I see you got no response. And yet he keeps arguing below this that this and other news conferences had no specific topic.
