GO Virginia Region 6 has $800,000 to invest in the regional economy on projects that help the region recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

GO Virginia Region 6 is seeking applications that support and serve existing businesses, priority traded sectors and essential businesses, including the health care system and tourism. Region 6 seeks applications that optimize and strengthen supply-chains; bring real products to address critical shortages of goods and services to meet healthcare needs, and develop or expand transitional training programs to move those out of work into available employment opportunities.

Examples of projects include:

  • Setting up an internship program for lab techs (VT Workforce Training, COVID-19 Response)
  • Building a website focused on technical assistance and reopening guidance for small businesses (Forward RVA)
  • Support and upskill un/underemployed workers with free COVID-related and skills training to
  • help businesses succeed by ensuring employees are well trained and able to address COVID related issues, while allowing the sectors to rebound more quickly (Virginia Restaurant and Hotel Workforce COVID Recovery and Upskilling Program)
