NGA’s Economic Development and Revitalization Task Force, Co-Chaired by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, has jurisdiction over a broad range of issue areas, including infrastructure, broadband, state stabilization, energy, environment, land management and taxes.
During the 2024 NGA Winter Meeting this week, Governor Beshear and Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon will lead a Task Force session focused on the historic formula and competitive funding states and territories are beginning to receive through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the CHIPS and Science Act. As Governors work to implement these new and expanded programs, they are considering ways to build and reskill the American workforce to meet the current opportunity. This session will explore some of the creative solutions Governors are leading to increase workforce in emerging sectors while fostering collaboration between the private and public sectors.
Governor Beshear recently shared insights into the work the Task Force is leading, including details about the upcoming session.
