WASHINGTON (AP) — Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Monday announced 60 finalists for $1 billion in economic development grants tied to the Biden administration’s coronavirus relief package and aimed at improving job training and regional industry partnerships.
There were 529 applicants for the grants. That means roughly 11% of submissions made it to the next round, which will ultimately choose 20 to 30 regional coalitions for up to $100 million in grants that could shape manufacturing, clean energy and life sciences hubs around the country. Twelve of the finalists were from places tied to the coal industry.
The finalists were predominantly coalitions made up of government, academic and economic partnerships. They will receive $500,000 each to help plan for the next round, with applications due in March. The deadline for choosing the winners is September.

How many Biden Hunter paintings do you have to buy to get on a grants list?
Just asking for a friend.
90% of the money ends up in Democrat hands, with 10% going to the ‘Big Guy’.
Got to hand it to old Joe... He takes care of his supporters.
Lemme guess. All were leftists and funneled donations to Xiden.
Totally a Leftist policy slush fund for the handing out of babbles for the compliant sheep.
FedGov version of American Idol?
This has to have Hillary just steaming mad, which is why I think she has been in the newz of late. Biden didn’t have to set up no foundation to collect his grift.
Commies picking winners and losers. You are the loser.
Half a million here and there to grow local government and eventually steal elections.
Hunter all 60?
Winners:
1) The Worker’s Daily - New York communist daily
2) Advance! - the news service of the Revolutionary Communist Party
3) Internationalist Observer - a Trotskyite publication
4) The Final Call - newspaper of the black muslims
5) The Children’s Circle - pedophile publication
... and so on.
All spending begins where?
Let me take a guess...all 60 “finalists” are deep blue cities/districts who voted for Dementia Joe.
DNC donor list and Hunters customers.
Ties to the coal industry? Just how much coal is mined in New Hampshire?
I detest the philosophy of the Left. Nothing good for humans comes from their motives.
60 loyalists. Rochester is a big Dem stronghold. Let’s see what happens.
