Monroe Street <br />Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 <br />Dear Governor Scott: <br />careersourcerc.com <br />On behalf of the Workforce Development Board of the Treasure Coast d/b/a CareerSource <br />Research Coast, we pledge our support for the Florida Job Growth grant application on <br />Infrastructure submitted by the School District of Indian River County -Technical Center for <br />Career and Adult Education to Enterprise Florida and the Department of Economic Opportunity <br />(DEO) <br />The CareerSource Research Coast Board of Directors supports this Infrastructure project as <br />evidenced by DEO's document "A Close Look at 12 Florida Counties". This document identified <br />Indian River County as one with Opportunities for Improved Economic Outcomes. Indian River <br />County was identified for its high unemployment, minimal labor force growth, low labor force <br />participation rate, annual wages below State average and rate of individuals with disabilities <br />above the State average. <br />As a part of this proposed infrastructure project, the expanded technical center will relocate to a <br />central area within Indian River County that is made up of predominantly low income, under <br />employed and un -skilled residents. In addition, this project will provide the local workforce <br />development area (LWDA20) with a much needed career and technical education center. <br />Please accept this letter as assurance that CareerSource Research Coast and our local <br />businesses, Chambers of Commerce, Industry associations, education and local governments <br />have identified the critical need for a career and technical education center in LWDA20. <br />CareerSource Research Coast strongly encourages the approval of this Infrastructure <br />application for funding. <br />Sincerely, <br />M/�,_ <br />Brian K.
