On September 8, Governor Brian Kemp announced the first grant recipients of the Rural Workforce Housing Initiative, which was originally introduced earlier this year.. This newly established program is a component of the OneGeorgia Authority and provides flexible funding for developing housing and related infrastructure in rural parts of the state. The first round of  grants total $8.37 million in infrastructure development. The award recipients have also demonstrated strong collaboration with real estate developers.
