In February 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act to help stimulate the economy and provide employment and job training services to job seekers and employers throughout the nation. As a result of the Act, funding was identified to aid in the nation's recovery. To date, WORKFORCE plus has received $2.2 million to serve the communities of Gadsden, Leon and Wakulla counties.
