The regional effort focuses on raising the growth potential of residents by creating opportunities for those long-affected by racial inequality by ensuring pathways for participation in the economy.

The grants will fund two initiatives, including the new regional talent strategy called UpSkill Orlando and BRACE (Business Recovery Assistance and Collaborative Engagement) to support economic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
