A group led by Georgia Tech will get $65 million for statewide research. That includes a new research facility on Georgia Tech’s campus.
“These grants will provide critical and historic funding directly to community coalitions to invest in new infrastructure, research and development, and workforce development programs while creating good-paying jobs, supporting workers, and prioritizing equity,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in a statement.
