Nevada has been awarded a $1 million grant through the American Rescue Plan to diversify the state economy and protect against future economic problems.
Gov. Steve Sisolak said the grant will enhance the state’s ability to use the federal money coming to Nevada. He said that means analyzing the needs of poor communities and creating ways to reduce disparities between those communities and more prosperous parts of the state.
He said it will also support development of statewide broadband services and conduct an assessment of workforce development and training needs.
The funding will also undertake a statewide supply chain and logistics assessment.
